Mami, love is all: your love brought me up.
Struggles nor aches stopped your amazing grace;
The Perennial wisdom flowed from your cup
which tempered so the features of your face.
Love has filled all my life with gentleness
Like the blood that courses through my body;
Still have goodness, and sweetness, and kindness
To share with the world and everybody.
I never saw you reach the end of patience
When pinned down by life’s pains ask for release,
Nor questioned God in your conversation,
You remain calm and serene under God’s peace.
Believe me, I’m thankful to celebrate
another year of your life. Happy birthday.
