I stayed awake all night just counting the hours
before waking you up to hugs, kisses, and flowers
for ours was a day filled with much joy and laughter
from the fancy-Nancy brunch, to the church service after
and for the rest of the day I never had a doubt
that the snow would melt away and the sun would come out
and shine it did, showing the sparkle in your eyes
Now I truly realize you're an angel in disguise
These skies of blue always remind me of you
A picture-perfect backdrop to a beauty so true
The zoo was a zoo and the crowd was insane
but like so many times before, I never heard you complain
and the rain from the week brought out such vibrant hues
and created at the gardens such magnificent views
The roses truly rose to the fame of their name
yet to your glory and splendor, they bowed down in shame
for you stood out like a truly brilliant shining star
The most beautiful of beauties, no matter where you are
and like the star that you are...twinkling oh, so bright
I had to have you home as it started getting night
so after having dinner at your favorite place
I held my arms open for a final embrace
I catch a trace of your face...as I hug through you...like a vapor
You didn't go away, mom...we had an amazing day, mom...even if only on paper...
