Mom's Birthday

Today's my Mom's birthday.
She sort of "created" me
So, she's kind of like the first "artist" I ever met.
It was a nice, creative thing she did, having me.

She used to sew all of our clothes
and she used to make homemade, gourmet meals.
She would decoupage and paint ceramics.
She did a lot of cool things and it was good.

I remember sitting with her in the grass.
Mom made us flower necklaces out of clover.
She had four of us girls, so that was really creative.
Having four kids is a big deal.

Happy birthday Mom.
Thanks for being creative way back when.
You really knew how to be open and free.
I appreciate those things.

I'm glad you were born and I love you.
Happy Birthday.
