TO OUR DARLING MUMMY ON HER BIRTHDAY

TO OUR DARLING MUMMY ON HER BIRTHDAY
MOTHERS’ DAY ALREADY !
OUR BELOVED “MUMMY”
SO YOUNG AT HEART AND FULL OF ENERGY.
BORN IN THE BEAUTIFUL MONTH OF MAY
THIS FEISTY “YOUNG LADY”
STRUGGLED ALL THE WAYS AND MANY A DIFFICULT DAY
FOR, AT THE TENDER AGE OF TWENTY
HER MOTHER PASSED ON TO THE UNSEEN
WITH ONLY HER SISTER AND FATHER FOR FAMILY
SHE FACED THE WORLD WITH BRAVERY.
HER CHILDREN SHE BORE
WERE HER LIFE AND MORE
RESPECT, HUMILITY, HONESTY AND KINDNESS
WERE THE QUALITIES SHE INSTILLLED IN EVERY ONE OF US
FOR HER CHILDREEN, SHE ALWAYS DID HER BEST
BE IT EXTRA CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES OR THE WAY WE DRESSED.
OF MONEY AND SWEAT SPENT SHE HAD NO ACCOUNTS
SHE WOULD SUCCUMB TO ALL OUR NEEDS AND WANTS
BIRTHDAYS WERE FUN AND SO MEMORABLE
SHE WOULD ENSURE THEY WERE IMMENSELY ENJOYABLE
AND HOLIDAYS WERE ALWAYS SUCH A THRILL
DOWN TO THE SEA OR UP TO THE HILLS.
THERE WERE TIMES OF TEARS AND SQUABBLES
TELL ME WHICH FAMILY DOES NOT HAVE TROUBLES ?
BUT WE OFTEN CAME OUT THE BETTER FOR IT
AND NEVER REGRETTED, NAY ONE BIT
FOR MOTHER WAS ALWAYS PREDICTABLY RIGHT
TO THIS WE ACKNOWLEDGE HER UNCANNY FORESIGHT
AS TIME WENT BY IT CAME TO REST
ONE BY ONE HER CHILDREN FLEW FROM THE NEST
SHE WOULD CONSTANTLY FRET AND WORRY
ABOUT OUR HEALTH, FOOD AND MONEY
HOWEVER PRIDE AND JOY FILLED HER FACE
WHEN HER FLOCK RETURNED WITH DEGREES AND GRACE.
BUT THE WHEELS OF LIFE DO NOT STAY STILL
SHE LOST HER FATHER IT WAS GOD’S WILL
THROUGH SADNESS AND MEMORIES SHE WAS NOT FORLORN
FOR HER CHILDREN SHE WOULD LIVE ON.
HER GRANDCHILDREN SHE LOVED LIMITLESSLY
CARING FOR THEM UNTIRINGLY
HER GRANDCHILDREN WERE ALWAYS FULL OF SURPRISES
LOVELY CLOTHES AND TOYS OF ALL SHAPES AND SIZES.
NOW HER GRANDCHILDREN HAVE ALSO GROWN
THE SEEDS OF HER LOVE DEEPLY SOWN.
THIS VERY SPECIAL LADY
WHO IS CARING WITHOUT ANY SILLY
IS OUR DARLING MUMMY TOO
WHOM WE LOVE SO MUCH , WE DO
THE LOVE AND GRATITUDE WE FEEL IN OUR HEARTS
WE HOPE WE CAN IMPART.
AND TODAY WE SAY,
MUMMY,
A VERY HAPPY AND BLESSED BIRTHDAY
WITH MANY MORE IN THE BEAUTIFUL MONTH OF MAY !


YOUR BELOVED CHILDREN
