The youngest daughter of mine
is turning 49.

49 years I have been blessed –
She is truly one of the world’s best.

By any measures,
She has brought me ongoing pleasures.

Never unsure,
Always acts mature.

A mother
like no other.

Admired by her extended family
For her ongoing hospitality.

Always determined and clear
In advancing her career.

Her executive style
Is always going the extra mile.

Always in a great mood
With a positive attitude.

Colette, today I float on a high cloud
Because I am so very proud…

Being the Mother
Of a daughter like no other.

I pray
To witness for many more years… your birthday.
