Today is my birthday, and my daughter gave me a most beautiful gift. Please enjoy the poem as I did!
Did you know?
M. B.
Did you know that there is a person
Who has a voice as sweet as chocolate?
Did you know that there is a women
Who learned it all through hardship and sores?
Did you know that there was a mother
Who tried her best and never gave in?
Even when the worst had hit her?
Did you know that I have a person
Who went through all this
And still gave it her best?
Did you know that this person
Has a birthday today
So everyone can remember
How special she is?
Did you know that this mother
Has a special message from me?
Thank you for being alive
For never surrendering
Thank you for being here
Thank you for being with me
Thank you for being my mother
Thank you for being you
I love you,
Your persistence
Your charm
Your caring
And especially
Your continuation
Until today
So I could be here to celebrate
With you
Happy birthday, mom,
And many more

Oh, you lucky, lucky woman……you raised your beautiful daughter to have open eyes, so she could see the beauty in you, and a big heart to love you with, because you are worth it, you deserve it: having a daughter who loves you so. Blessings and more blessings, on your birthday!

I second what Laura expressed so beautifully! I’m a lucky mother, too. Today’s my husbands’ birthday, too! We just got back from celebrating with my two grown girls, son’s in law, and my lovely “tween” granddaughter, who gave me a hand made card, just because. It is a blessing to be loved by your daughter!
