Happy Birthday Mama Poem by MELVIN BANGGOLLAY

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAMA (Nov.26,1946)
Melvin Banggollay


I never thought today is your natal day
Where you begun your life and story
and sailed to build your own destiny
of which we are a part of your journey.

I do nat have any precious gift today
wrap in fabulous package of ingenuity
except my warm and tender display
of sweet kisses and embraces to thee.

I love you mama and so with daddy
Who went ahead in another destiny
Leaving you alone to show us the way
and to guide us in nestling our own story.

I have no regret that you're my mother
For you gave all you have with wonder
and I knew I could never repay forever
the love and care you have showered.

If ever I will be born again
In thy palm I still want to cling
For I know I'll never be forsaken
Nor be left behind suffering.

On this day I wish that you'll be
Blessed with longer life than daddy
So remain strong and healthy
and enjoy life with our family.

Happy happy birthday Mama
With every beat of my heart
and thanks for everything Mama
For the care and love you impart.
