Happy Birthday, Mommy

To the one who taught my soul to sing,

To find my voice and spread my wing—

To dance beneath both sun and star,

And love myself despite my scars.

You are the tempo in my stride,

A steep falsetto of joy inside.

With kindness deep and spirit strong,

You’ve helped me find where I belong.

May joy add twinkles to your eyes,

And your world be filled with brightest skies.

May every dream you hold come true,

And love return tenfold to you.

Dance, Mommy — beyond the floor,

where blessings rise, and spirits soar.

You are the light I’ve always known,

My truest compass, though I’m grown.

Health, wealth, and grace are yours to keep,

May angels guard you while you sleep.

Enjoy this day, and many more—

You are she we most adore.

Aṣẹ.
