Happy Sixteenth Birthday

 

A heart that’s very giving

A mother’s love so very true;

Life’s most precious gifts

Are what I offer you.

 

A shoulder you can lean on

A hope from deep within;

A friendship you can count on

When your future’s looking dim.

 

One who feels such a gratitude

For your accomplishments great or small;

Treasures every memory

Hears your every call.

 

There is no card or flower

That ever could convey;

All the dreams and wishes

That are wrapped up in today.

 

I’ll simply say I love you

And that to me you’re very dear;

So happy birthday sweetheart

Best wishes through the year!

 

Mom
