Happy Birthday, Mom. October 14th.

this is going to sound cheesy.

***

Seven pounds, born fourteenth, all well.

But they could never really tell,

What a great mother you would be.

The future was farther than the eye could see.

If they all saw, they would be proud

of the little girl who stood out from the crowd.

Nancy Alice , who they called their own.

They would dance if they saw how much she has grown.

As her daughter, I can rightfully say,

that I am always excited for this terrific day.

My mother has smiled for another year.

And that is enough-

to make the whole world cheer.
