HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM

This weekend my mother

Turns 80 years young,

I'd like to thank her and tell her

I love her for all that she's done.



She taught me to be kind

And be respectful of others,

To help people when I can--

In God's world we're all sisters and brothers.



She's taught me about God,

And to trust him in all things--

Because He is my Savior

And my King.



She taught me to cook,

As a child made me my clothes,

And when I did something wrong--

Discipline was given in fair dose.



She loves her 3 step-kids

As though they were her own,

They all call her Mom

Due to the love she has sown.



She's honest and true,

And your friend for life.

No matter  what problem she has--

She'll help others through strife.



She's had health problems

Off and on for 4 years,

She prays to God for guidance--

And help with her fears.



She's been through many trials,

And come out strong,

Even my friends like her--

And feel comfy, like they belong.



She's not a saint

And never claimed to be--

Happy Birthday Mom,

As you turn 80.
