Your 40th Birthday

by Brandie White Partin - Capricorn

For the past 40 years
You have touched many hearts-
Devoted daughter, wife, & mother,
You've played all the parts.
You've gone through some hard times
On life's long, winding road;
The struggles you've endured
Have been a heavy load.
You're a strong-willed woman
Who's had her share of pain,
But with the wisdom that you have
Has only strength to gain.
So go ahead & celebrate
Your one & only 40th birthday
With your family & close friends
In your own unique way.

-Brandie White Partin-

Reason for writing:

    I wrote this and had it printed on a card for my mom, Dona.  I didn't give it to her until her birthday party, and then she cried in front of everybody, but it really seem to move all that were in attendance.
