For My Mum On Her Birthday Poem by Mary Joy Lumanog

It may not be in words...
that I could express
of having a wonderful mum, you are...

I may not be the perfect daughter...
To say how much I care...
It may not be in actions..
That sometimes, mostly always
I made mistakes....

I may not do the things you ask...
For sometimes I forgot to do so...
I may not know what would my life be...
But you're there to guide me...

I may not see...
The things you're going through...
But I know you're just a Mother..
To cherish and appreciate too...

All I wish for you on your birthday...
Is to have more patient and be patient...
It might not be 'till the end..
'Cause I know you have limitations too...

It's just an indication...
That today is another year that you get older...
But, well of course get younger...
As years goes by...
