let them ring!

Mother

Words have meaning/especially when
your very life depends upon the worth of them.
You(our mother)bore six healthy children
by the work of your hands in to this working world
You cleaned and cooked and catered
we grew and left and returned later
to thank you for your worthy wisdom
Thanks to you we are still here and hearing
how your works still keep other's lives alive
You knit and bake and make friends easily
and keep them with a ferocity of loyalty
that protects them from the wild winds of change
Now you approach your 80th cycle-
we return to honor and respect you(our origin)
and as your time turns towards you
you turn this time into one of our celebration
for all you are and give ,worthy of the sharing
your children thank you,your friends and families
affiliates and acquaintances,recognise and acknowledge
your wondrous uniqueness!
