Happy 89th Birthday Mom

Myrtle E. Johnston

April 17, 1931

So many happy memories, Mom

Come flooding back today,

Of birthday celebrations

Before you went away.

Those wonderful occasions

Never changed throughout the years,

But now your smile is missing

Replaced with birthday tears.

You may not be here with me

But the day means just as much,

And I can feel your presence

And the comfort of your touch.

I’ll celebrate your birthday, Mom

The way I always do,

For the precious love between us

And all I owe to you.

I love and miss you so,

Bev
