It Is My Birthday, Merci Maman

and so it is, I think of you 
like roses from heaven 
filled with morning dew 

a solid link we shared 
like a home built for two 
mother I'm missing you ....

no candles on my cake today 
just a walk through memory lane 
and a love I cannot claim 

upon the breath of dawn 
the kiss of morning arrives 
on the bossom of my thoughts 

of a mother and a daughter,  
Mother, you gave me birth 
Merci Maman,  xo xo
