Happy birthday, Mom, from your dear daughter!
As you would put me first,
so I now you, Pleased to have this chance
to change the order, Pleased to please your heart
in all I do. Yield, then, for this day
the joy of giving; Be a receiver
temporarily, Inverting your accustomed
way of living, Returning soon enough to
normalcy. The interim, I trust, will
be a pleasure, Happy to the undefended
root, Delight too deep to monitor
or measure, A retrogression one can only
treasure, Yet know too well the years
have rendered
moot. |
