Don’t let it go to waste
Those elements of surprise
Like a smile that becomes an ally
In moments of distaste
I hope God forgives us
For angry words misplaced
Many good intentions erased
From one too many forgotten mistakes
May the landing be a little softer
For every fall and trip you encounter
From now until you grow older
Will someone catch you when you falter
These words are merely reminders
Wishful thoughts of a foolish lover
Who closes her eyes under the covers
And smiles at memories still remembered
The diary in our heart awaits a key
For someone to set our emotions free
Sometimes the lock is never released
And the ink inside is left to bleed
On this day like any other
A bundle of joy befell your mother
Years to come and years retired
Her love and mine remain unexpired
