Sonnet: Happy Birthday, Dearest Mom Stella! Poem by Dr John Celes

More than a hundred years ago, was born
An extra-ordinary girl, so sweet;
As heaven's angels sounded each their horn,
And music, song divine broke out to beat!

The special pot had pleased Almighty's heart!
The soul was predestined for role anew;
This Eve was meant to play a special part;
Too beautiful, the flow'r had bloomed, with dew!

Her life's story was long an innings played;
When two years old, she lost her father dear;
Will-pow'r, courage and love, her life displayed;
The girl just pined for love, from far and near!

Although a century hence, she's no more,
Still lives in hearts she reared with love and bore!
