Extraordinary Woman

To an Extraordinary mother, person, wife and a friend.
Today we celebrate her birthday
Which is number fifty-nine.

Hard to believe the years fly by,
This life we dig and delve.
She is so extraordinary...

She is a fabulous wife (right Ralph?)
and raised two great kids.
She even opened her heart an added a few more.
She manages so much more,
She's incredible, no doubt.

She keeps us all together.
Remarkable, in retrospect,
Our thanks? We've said a few.

Now that the kids are grown
with kids all of our own,
We really appreciate with clarity
All the wonders mom has sown.

Some how we all get along,
In fact, we do just fine.

It seems as if the whole thing
Came down to faith in the Lord.

Since "I" have known her
she has always believed !

She is always right here, supporting each if us,
In every way she can.

Her time, her heart, her courage.
Inspiration? She's a thrill.

She taught us how to cook some and knit too,
And function - always strong.
She counseled on the good life,
and taught us right from wrong.

She all about so many things,
Like unconditional love.

On your birthday, mom,
Our love we do avow.
You're just the best in every way,
Forever, then and now.



Love,
Your Family
