HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM
How can I ever truly thank her
Asking myself this question time and again
Perhaps I can show her what she means to me
Pictures and words I will share with her
Yes, I think this will touch her heart
Brought me into this world and showed me love
It is with great pride that I do this
Reliving wonderful moments as I create my tribute
Taking time to fill it with everything special
Heartfelt to thank her for all she has done
Delivering my message not only for today
A memory that will last forever and a day
You deserve this and so much more
Mom you're the best, I want you to know
Ornate the design, it's all my own
My birthday wish for you, on this your day
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM WITH ALL MY LOVE

MlilAngel, Thank you for the applauses and such lovely words of praise. Although this was done for a contest the words flowed freely as I thought of my mom while writing. I also gave a copy to my mom for her. I'm very happy that you enjoyed these wishes. This was one of my first writes. I was surprised to see someone had commented on this now. Love and God bless, Joyce

Thank you Dee and yes, I am the baby out of four girls so you know who got spoiled. 
Yep it was me.
Not just by mom, but by the rest of the family as well.
There is nothing like a mom's love. Joyce

Awwww I'm sure your Mom loves this piece. You're still her baby no matter how old you get. I know my son is still my baby and he's 24 going on 90!
Nice write.

Thank you so much for the applause and the wonderful comment.
I better put in my author's comments that this contest is for the holder's mom. I do feel the same way about my mom though.

This piece touched me...My mother was a single mother who sacrificed all that she had so that myself and my 3 rbothers could have a normal life...many of my works are in direct tribute to her, so when I read something like this, I am touched..very much so..i can relate to it...You did a very good job...it is simple, casual, but very deep ajnd heartfelt...thanks for letting em read this...
-
Thank you so much for the wonderful comment. I do feel this way about my mom. This contest was asking us to write a birthday poem for the holder's mom. It does hold true for mine as well. Joyce
-
Thank you for the applause and the wonderful comment. I was very lucky there were not a bunch of Q's, Z's, or X's in it...
LOL Joyce

I agree, it is truly great poem, one that shows how much she means to you. I think any mother would be more than honored to receive a poem like this. Excellent job.
-
This is so sweet and beautiful! It is so wonderful that you feel so grateful to have your mother there for you. I love my mother, yet I know a lot of people that have abandoned their parents....felt like they were just an obstacle in their lives! I wish you and your mom the best!

Great
Ahh, the female matrimonial person in ones family. Used in many degrading jokes, but is also very important when a child grows up. You give your thanks to your mother in a very good poem, the acrostic part of it makes it even better, because the beginning letters can be a slight problem. For instance, you are luck that 'happy birthday mom' doesn't have any Qs Zs or Xs. Great poem -
Jim, I did this for the contest. However I feel the same way about my mom so it really helped when I was thinking what to say for each of the letters. Thank you so much for the wonderful comment. Joyce
-
This was a very pretty birthday poem, and I think your mother will really appreciate it. It shows you think very highly of her, and what she means to you. Truely a great piece of work!
