Your ninety years’ of love <br />To children and all, prove <br />The mother great and wife, <br />That you had been all life! <br /> <br />You slogged all life <br />As mother, wife; <br />With dogged days rife, <br />Frequent strife! <br /> <br />Another Marian, <br />Now nonagenarian; <br />What wisdom fills your heart, <br />In things, you’ve done from start! <br /> <br />God bless you mother dear, <br />And help you better hear, <br />And keep you from all fear, <br />And any earthly tear! <br /> <br /> ‘Happy Birthday, Mum! (10-30-2007) <br />Avoid becoming glum.’ <br />Lovingly dedicated to my dear mother <br />Mrs.Stella Antoniswami, CBE <br />By son Celestine, wife Mercy and <br />Grand-daughters Cathy ad Diana <br />Copyright by Dr John Celes 10-30-2007<br /><br />Dr John Celes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/happy-birthday-mum/
