The Happiest of Birthdays to you

  

"If you were falling, then I would catch you

You need a light, I'd find a match

Cuz I love the way you say good morning

And you take me the way I am

If you are chilly, here take my sweater

Your head is aching; I'll make it better

Cuz I love the way you call me baby

And you take me the way I am

I'd buy you Rogaine when you start losing all your hair

Sew on patches to all you tear

Cuz I love you more than I could ever promise

And you take me the way I am

You take me the way I am

You take me the way I am"

A silly little ode to mom:The Way You Are to Me

Mom if you were a scent, 

 you would smell like a combination of Banana Boat suntan oil 

and  the early morning, right before the sun warms everything to life; cool and fresh earth together.

 { even though you love twilight best}.

If  you could be captured in one moment in time ,

 it would be 

 { out of  a thousand good moments what makes this  one special is it's my first memory of  

conscious happiness

 enjoying togetherness with you}  

You would be , Sitting in the door jam on our  thick brown carpet getting the afternoon sun & looking at the tiny-teers growing in the ground.

If you were a sound  you would be captured in the made up rhythms and beats 

that come from your very own brain 

and 

the giggles that follow. 

I'm so sorry they "won't let you play in the n…." Mom.

I love you for the way you so easily create good memories without even trying 

and 

for the ones you make when you do! 

LIFE is a host of celebrations, 

specialness,

 fullness, 

passionate outbursts of jokes, laughing, dancing, randomness  

and fun because of you

~ Thank you so much! 

Happy Birthday to the Queen of "Live , Love, Laugh"

Always your adoring daughter and loving son- in law,
