On This Day

On this day, in the morn,
Fourty short years ago,
A tiny child was born.
On this day in the morn,
The title Mom was first worn,
And I was all aglow,
On this day in the morn,
Fourty short years ago.

September 21, 1973,
Was quite a special day for me.
It was a day like no other,
For that’s when I first became a mother.

Me

69 years ago this day
A baby was born.
No one knew at that time
The baby was me.

It took all those years
To create the me I am today.

So, on this remembrance day of my birth,
I want to thank God for my life,
And praise Him for all He has done to make me–me.
