For it’s my Mom’s birthday
And though she’ll watch from above
I’m making her cupcakes
With lots of love.

Were she still here
She’d turn 72
Happy Birthday Dear Mom
I so love and miss you.

I still celebrate your day
Like I said I always would
I plan to visit your resting site as well
For talking with you still makes me feel good.

I’ll even leave you a card and a cupcake
Though I’m sure you’ll give it to the ants
And then in a couple of weeks
I’ll start bringing you new plants.

For I know you loved beautiful flowers
They made you radiate like the sun
And as you’re watching I hope you’re smiling
As you see who I’m finally beginning to become.

I wish that we could physically celebrate together
Like we did so many times before
But still Happy, Happy Birthday Mom
As every day I still love and miss you more.

And know there’s nothing I wouldn’t do
To feel you hugging me as you would
I’ll never forget the feel of your arms around me
Always making the world seem like everything’s good.
