Happy Birthday, Mom!

There once was a girl who was born on a day-
the 28th actually . . . just before May.

She sang and she danced, had curls galore-
Until that fateful day with scissors-those curls were no more!

She grew up in Nebraska, Omaha to be exact . . .
Over the years it was here she learned to sing, dance and act.

She followed her dream-off to NYC she did head
Went to the one destination where she truly felt led.

It wasn't long after arriving, she experienced success-
Sharing a stage with Carol Channing, Dolly Levi in a red dress.

The years flew by quickly, but kept her heart in dance
Led by the Lord, not by random chance.

As chapters would end and new ones began,
She kept living life-according to His plan.

That plan included motherhood-daughters totaling three
How she maintained sanity-the answer escapes me!

Three sisters we were . . . known as singers and dancers
And of course through the teen years, thought we had all the answers!

But age does a funny thing, especially upon becoming a mom
When suddenly you discover you had it all wrong!

And now that I am a mom (to girls nonetheless)
I just have to tell you, I need to confess!

My mom is so smart-especially during the years that I "knew" it all
I hope I'm doing half as good a job, as I stumble and I fall!

So Mom, from me to you-please allow me say
I love you like crazy and Happy Birthday!

Love, Kari
