A little poem I wrote for my mothers birthday

A Poem For Maja

After a while I guess people start to expect

A poem that many a king have tried to perfect

But as one of the lucky few, my mother

You can bet the house that here comes another

Each year brings us a set of circumstances and events

What’s more exciting that moving back home with the parents?

It is a daunting task, done with school and back at home

I love you a lot, but let’s hope this doesn’t last as long as Rome

Every year we tend to focus too much on the next

Which I’ve always found to be a bit complex

We are here today and let us enjoy the now

So if you get the urge, stand up and take a bow

I have always been thankful for all that you do

But it seems this year I had to a compete with a few

I am hardly complaining, just very proud

I am sure all at the shelter have truly been wowed

Another summer, another year, and another celebration

And from what we can tell, without the dreaded waist inflation

So let us continue on this wild ride

Next year probably both of our heads will be dyed!

Eat up, Drink up, Live it up – it’s your day

Only to those that I love dearly, do I offer this word-bouquet!

Love,

Your Son
