Walking Sunshine
By Joanna Fuchs
Dear Mother I love you and want you to know,
I think of you often wherever I go.
You lift me up; you’re like walking sunshine;
I am lucky to have a great mother like mine.
Your endless affection makes you special and rare;
I’m always amazed by how much you care.
What you’ve given to me I can never repay,
Thank you, Mom, on your (40th, 52nd, etc.) birthday.
I Celebrate Your Life
By Joanna Fuchs
Mom, your birthday means so much to me;
To have you in my life another year,
The time I spent enfolded in your love,
Each day, each moment with you is so dear.
I cherish the very special bond we have.
You lift my spirit in so many ways.
I celebrate your life; I honor you,
And send to you my love and care and praise.
Visionary Mom
By Joanna Fuchs
Mom, on your birthday
I celebrate you being you,
my extraordinary mother.
You have made such a difference,
created so much good in my life!
I celebrate your smart mothering,
your clever, creative methods
of gently molding your beloved child
into your vision of me:
a strong, capable adult,
an unselfish person of good character.
I celebrate your boundless
physical and emotional energy…
loving me, leading me, supporting me,
lifting me when I fall.
On your birthday, Mom,
I celebrate the best thing about my life…
having you as my mother.
Mom’s the Bomb
By Joanna Fuchs
Happy Birthday to my mom;
As mothers go, you’re the bomb!
You pick me up when I am down;
Around you, I can’t wear a frown.
Your gifts cannot begin to say
How much you deserve this holiday.
Enjoy your birthday, Mom; take a break.
You’re supermom, so take the cake!
