When does time stand still?
With a void to fill?
Away from the grind
To recall and remind

A moment in life
Absent from woe and strife
To just take a few
And think about you

You deserve some attention
Despite apprehension
You serve us with love
Like the mourning dove

You do your thing
But then you bring
A charm all your own
That light’s up this home

When you are awake
And have time to bake
You beat a treat to eat
Chocolate and frosty sweet

You help with the birds
And sooth with your words
The resident nurse
Who knows where it hurts

When sleeping beauty
Enjoys a movie
We wonder if you
Have the drive-thru

When we see you chart
You’re doing your part
When you need quiet
We tone down the riot

And so the days go
And what do you know
Here you have a name
Here you found fame

Wherever you roam
We’ll wait here at home
And celebrate a life
A mother and wife

Let the record state
We think you are great
And let it show
Our love we bestow

For someone generous
To each one of us
Kind and caring
With no swearing

Enjoy our attention
And the things we mention
Summed up this way
In Happy Birthday
