Happy Birthday Mom

                                                           I find myself wondering...                                                             
                                                           Did I give you your due..
                                                        For all that you've done for me
                                                              Did I ever thank you?

                                                     For all of my childhood memories
                                                 For helping me deal with life's stresses
                                                    For helping me accept my defeats
                                                      And celebrate my successes?

                                              Or for teaching me the value of hard work,
                                               Good judgement, courage, and being true
                                        The laughter, smiles, and quiet times we've shared
                                                             Did I ever thank you?

                                                If I have forgotten, I'm thanking you now
                                                       You taught me right from wrong....
                                 I hope you know how much you're loved and appreciated
                                               I hope you, instinctively, knew all along.

                                                         Happy Birthday Mom
                                                      From your loving daughter
