happy birthday mum! i cant remember how old you are right now. but i'll leave the age factor behind. you wont like the fact that you're a year older with more worry lines draw across your face.it's funny how women never liked their ages revealed since it makes them feel old and weary.but mum, you're different. your nature doesn't seem to change even as the years go by.to my mum, who has already gone past the age of her younger days, you never fail to brighten up our days with your childish mindset. even though age has went ahead on the race of life, you still retain your childhood memories and will still share them with us with time.
to mum,
for being such a dearest to the ones the lord gave you from above,
you brought us up with dad with your unending love
and gave us the brightest upbringing any child would ask for.
you taught us about the father high above
and brought us to church for a session or more.
you showed us the way of christ and taught us the prayer.
catechism with friends, you fetch us thereafter.
when we questioned, you gave us answers.
when we were curious, you gave us space to explore with caution.
we fumbled with our first few steps and
yet for each time you took off your hat
we read our first few a,b,c's with you and
tugged on your skirt the first day at school.
to every new moment that we take,
you're always there with a pat on our head.
to my mum, a very happy birthday this year! eventhough it might be different this year without the whole family, there's still me and sharon to walk this journey with you. to mum, may you have a blessed week ahead and may the good lord bless you on this very special day!
