God bless you Mummy dear on your birthday! <br />And may He grant you some more years on earth; <br />You did so well, better than most earthlings; <br />You were our one, most loving, caring mum! <br /> <br />You did your chores despite life’s short-comings; <br />You opened doors to every child in life; <br />You mothered us well, proved a goodly wife; <br />You were our one, most loving, caring mum! <br /> <br />You were so great, Mother of mine indeed; <br />You consoled us and caressed us in feed; <br />You taught us things which books and teachers can’t; <br />You were our one, most loving, caring mum! <br /> <br />May be, you felt you could have done better; <br />May be, you felt you were unkind at times; <br />May be, you thought you could have erred lesser; <br />You were our one, most loving, caring Mum! <br /> <br />And now old-aged, with wearied frame you stay; <br />You want to live and yet, it isn’t easy; <br />God grant you strength of body, mind and soul, <br />And pass your remnant days in divine role. <br /> <br />You need not fear as old-age brings its fears; <br />You don’t worry as your century nears; <br />You be happy with kith and kin and dears; <br />Our life’s carriage, God adeptly well steers! <br /> <br />So cheer up mum, God has a plan for you; <br />Your prayers have ensured your heaven’s seat; <br />Hence, keep your cool; rest God will surely do; <br />You life was one of SUCCESS, NOT defeat! <br /> <br />Copyright by Dr John Celes 10-21-2004<br /><br />Dr John Celes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/to-my-loving-mum-on-her-86th-birthday/
