Happy Birthday to my momma!

Everytime I fell and hurt myself,
You adviced me saying I should've been more careful
Even as you dressed my wounds

Everytime I whined about anything,
You scolded me saying I should be ashamed of being a crybaby
Even as you dried away my tears

Everytime I despaired over something,
You berated me saying I should try harder the next time
Even as you comforted me back to sanity

Everytime I was down and out,
You preached to me that I was being a pathetic sissy
Even as you held me up to move forward again

And every which time you said any of those things
I only looked at you with resentment
Exasperated at your correcting ways ...

Till one day I grew up and realized
That it is because of each of these things you said and did
That I am what I am today!

Thank you Momma, for being the best mother in the entire world!
Wishing you many many more years of being my momma ...
Happy Birthday! I love you!
