I wrote this for my Mom, three years ago, for Mother’s Day, and I am sharing it again, because today, we are celebrating her 85th birthday!  Happy Birthday, Mom!!  Here’s to many more!  ❤

Years ago, that October day
I learned about true love
God sent me a guardian angel
My blessing from above

Guiding me along the path
She taught me how to live
With wisdom, grace and dignity
Giving all she had to give

And still this day
She shines her light
On all who gather round
I’m so very proud to call her Mom
My love for her abounds

I walk the lands freely, yes, this is my home

Over fields of green, through the plains, I roam

In the hills of the Dakotas, tis where I’m alive

Basking in the sunlight, just hoping to survive

See, the hunters find me an appetizing treat

And it’s only so fast I can run on these feet

So, cautiously I’ll wander, like a lonesome waif

Looking for a place, where I’ll finally be safe

A journey to the ocean, fluid movements of water

Find their destiny, in a vast expanse, still churning

Raindrops, a cloud’s singular falling, gather together

Ever grateful, to their maker, to finally be returning

There is a special kind of wonder

In the eyes of a child, with a book

Eager to find out what happens

Ever anxious to take that first look

A place he goes for adventure

Each page, another journey, grand

With his imagination, set free, alive

In a world, only he understands
