In loving memory of my dear mother Cynthia Saye, whose birthday is December 25.

Today is your birthday,

but it’s not like before,

because you see mom,

You aren’t with me

anymore.

There won’t be a cake

or any presents for you,

just eyes full of tears

and hearts sad and blue.

All I can do now

Is take flowers to your grave, and whisper,

Happy Birthday, and Merry Christmas to you.

Dearly loved and sadly missed by Daughter, Shirley Saye
