Happy Birthday Mom!!!

Thanks, Mom

When you have a mother
who cares so much for you
that anything you want
comes before her desires
When you have a mother
who is so understanding that
no matter what is bothering you
she can make you smile
When you have a mother
who is so strong that
no matter what obstacles she faces
she is always confident in front of you
When you have a mother
who actively pursues her goals in life
but includes you in all her goals
you are very lucky indeed
Having a mother like this
makes it easy to grow up
into a loving, strong adult
Thank you for
being this kind
of wonderful
mother

You are romantic, affectionate and loyal. A talented leader who is
often at the center of attention. Because you are sympathetic to others and
honest in all your endeavors, you have little trouble attracting members
of the opposite sex, and likewise are skilled at making and keeping
friends. Although you do not respond well to criticism, you are
blessed with an intellectual brilliance which will allow you to succeed
in such fields as music, art, and science. Financial rewards may
be slow in coming, but in the end monetary gains will
propel you into a comfortable financial independence.
Leos are best known for being warm-hearted and generous.

This is Pixie Joy.
Her wish is that you have the most wonderful Birthday of all.

If I could catch a rainbow
I would do it just for you
And share with you its' beauty
On the days you're feeling blue
If I could build a mountain
You could call your very own
A place to find serenity
A place to be alone
If I could take your troubles
I would toss them in the sea
You're wished a Birthday Mom
That is filled right from the start,
With all the special pleasures
That will truly warm your heart...
And while that wish is something
That you've often heard before-
Each year the love behind it
Makes it mean a whole lot more!
