Birthday Girl

Time, with the unending
clunk of a heavy
tractor wheel
laden with the mud
of a thousand fields,
has moved inexorably forward,
and through this tortuous journey,
each and every twist and turn,
I have known this truth;
That you are there.

My journey has been immeasurably brighter,
lighter,
more joyous and more true,
because of you.

Happy birthday Mum!
Your loving son
