Happy Birthday, my mother, my friend,
Since I was a child, my case you would defend,
Your love has always been unconditional,
Even when my moods have been transitional,
I cannot forget all the things you have done,
Through actions and words, my esteem you have won.
You taught me how to live, with courage and passion.
With the less fortunate, I learned your compassion.
Today is your birthday, I hope you dance,
This celebration, I’m sure you’ll enhance.
From the depths of my heart I just wanted to say,
“Dearest Mother, Happy Birthday…”
