Mom you have seen another year dear

Mom God has given you another year my dear
You seem to be hanging on to life for something that is clear
Then again maybe you may outlive us all
You seem to know how to fight and how to fight well
God has given you another year my dear

You have seen much in your time here on earth
You are a baby boomer
You have lived through panties and bra-burning
You have lived through women's rights fights
You have lived through the Nixon years
You have lived through the Reagan years
You have live to see the first black President
You have lived through the Trump era, hopefully never again
You have lost family along the way
You have lost friends along the way

Had love and lost love all along the way
You have made it to another year you have my sweet

May your last days on earth be sweeter than they have ever been
May you find peace and be able to hold it near like a best friend
May you know your Lord the Christ in ways like you have never known
May you find your comfort in Christ's arm's for the rest of your days
When it's time may he gently lead you home
Happy Birthday, Mom.
