Here is the poem that I wrote for my mom to honor her on her 50th birthday. I tried to capture her the best I could. I presented her with a laminated copy of the poem tonight at her birthday, I think she liked it. I am not a very skilled poet.
“A Special Lady”
A very special lady turns fifty today
So we celebrate in a special way
If you’ve met her once, you’d think she’s a friend
Her love is so deep, her heart draws you in.
We honor you now for your special day
That glorious 50th Birthday! Written by Nick Carnes
So we celebrate in a special way
If you’ve met her once, you’d think she’s a friend
Her love is so deep, her heart draws you in.
God, family, and country she holds dear
A faith so strong it cast out all fear
A selfish claim to call her my own
Everyone she meets; they all feel at home.
Mom, Aunt, and Grammy too
Her love and devotion are not limited to a few
Sister, cousin, and friend
Everyone knows that “Mother” is her trend.
A very special wife to a very manly man
She can make him blush like he’s wearing a tan
He has always captured her heart’s passion
Their bond is a portrait of true Godly compassion.
So here’s to Diane who means so much to us
I’m sure she’ll say we shouldn’t have made a fuss
We honor you now for your special day
That glorious 50th Birthday! Written by Nick Carnes
