Mom made it to 80!

Happy 80th Birthday!

Your 80th birthday, well some say that’s great!
Another year older, hey just a minute, just wait.
Your 80th birthday is special we know,
So to you, our dear mother, our love we will show.

Your children are many they now number eight,
Their spouses and children do make your life great!
With Dad at your side, you have nothing to fear,
But only because you both struggle to hear.

But because you are 80, not hearing is okay,
You've told us to always the good only say.
So now that you’re 80 and words you can't hear,
Just know that they’re good words and bringing you cheer!

You’ve been the best mom that eight kids ever had
You’ve loved us and scolded us in good times and bad
For all the long hours you’ve fretted over us,
We pledge to be good kids in your honour, please trust.

Your grandchildren love you like none other around,
Your home is a place where sweet refuge is found.
They love the red fish and the cookies and pop,
But more than the goodies, they love YOU a lot!

So a very happy birthday we share with you today,
We pray and we hope that your days go okay.
We want you around for more years to come,
Because you, our dear Mom, you are 80 years young!
