Mother birthday

in gentle embrace
a mother cried
swaddled in pink
her legacy lie

a blessed moment
in forty three
would forever mark
a miracle for me

for on that day
and moment in time
our family's angel
was born Mother of mine

Sixty years
have since passed us by
yet with each new day
we're still a sigh

with the beauty of you
My mother and friend
still our miracle
as you were back then.
