Momma,

           A couple of years ago, I wrote you a poem for your birthday, a pretty bad one.  But, you loved it, because I wrote it.

           When I was a child, you choose to walk your own path instead of going where others told you.  It wasn’t easy, but you did it.  You did your best for all of us and it really has made all the difference in our lives.  Your children are strong will and independent.

           The last couple of years you have been through so much, but you have remained strong. Strong for me, my siblings and all of your grandchildren.

            You have taught me so much over the years. You keep teaching, guiding and helping me to be a better me.

Happy Birthday Momma,

Lu
