Happy Birthday to my Mom

Today is my mom's birthday! My mother is a very special woman in every way I can think of. She is so selfless that I know for a fact that I can never be like her.  I also know that God has truly blessed me by giving me a mother like her and by allowing me to experience what it means to be a mother.  She's also an awesome grandmother to my two girls.  I wrote this simple poem for her today.


Happy birthday to my mom
The one who raised me well
The one that gave up on her dreams so that her children may excel
 
Happy birthday to my mom
The one who with my dad left their country, people and all that they considered home
Happy birthday to my mom
And may she with dad in paradise roam
 
Happy birthday to my mom
The one who taught me how to walk, sit, eat, and speak
Happy birthday to my mom
That showed me how to be strong even when I felt weak
 
Happy birthday to my mom
The one who insured that all we ate was homemade
Happy birthday to my mom
The woman who taught me about God as she prayed
 
Happy birthday to my mom
That taught me how to be humble so that God elevates me
Happy birthday to my mom
That showed me that good manners where always the key
 
Happy birthday to my mom
May she be blessed with health, wealth, and happiness for all her life
Happy birthday to my mom
That after all these years proves to be the perfect wife
 
Happy birthday to my mom
That knows the true meaning of being a mother
Happy birthday to my mom
 The best grandma to my girls, she’s truly like no other
 
Happy birthday to my mom
The most selfless woman that I know
Happy birthday to my mom
And may her face on judgment day with light glow
 
Love you always mom!
xoxo,
May

Photo Post: Northern Cardinal

I've been wanting to take a picture of a Cardinal for so long and I finally was able to this past Friday.  I really love these birds, not only do they look so pretty but they sound so pretty too.  I was able to get a picture of the Male in red and also the Female :) they were chasing eachother around the tree just in time for Valentines day.




Hope you enjoy looking at them as much as I enjoyed capturing photos of them.
