She would always be described as Skinny
but when it came to her intellect she was anything but mini
At 19 her memory was completely lost
thoughts of her childhood had gotten criss-crossed
She then met the man who would always love her
together they build a life, that anyone would prefer
With her you'll be what you were meant to become
from people to plants she has a green thumb
While homeschooling 6 children, she must have had resilience
but really it was her charm, her work, and her brilliance
She has always said that she had great taste
but the test of time has proved her case
Though your kids weren't the first to endorse
your love has proven us wrong for your horse
Grandmother of ten and one third
Comparing your mom skills would be absurd
Comparing your mom skills would be absurd
Her kitchen renovations are going just fine
when she's all done it will be divine
You have a great figure this much is true
Your health is something you'll always pursue
Through thick and thin you'll always come out on top
trying to help and fix and listen you'll never stop
this year has been hard but you're solid as a rock
You play, you read, you love and you lead.
another year for you to succeed.
Happy, happy birthday our favorite mother indeed.
