You've turned twenty three
Have a great birthday!
There is no doubt about it
You turned into a young lady
Despite my lousy motherly skills.
I thank you for teaching me
How to be a better person
A carer in the first place
I am grateful to you
For having shared with me
Your infancy and childhood
Full of dreams and fantasy
For giving me a second go
On being a teenager
It was easier this time around
I didn't have to go through
The angst of daily life
And acceptance
Age was the buffer I needed
I enjoyed every minute
So I'm grateful to you.
And don't forget
Have a great birthday!
