I’ve read the advice:
Call your mother on your birthday;
It’s as much her day as yours.
So today,
Your birthday,
I am writing a poem for your mother.
Because you are beautiful,
Because you are strong,
Because you let yourself experience
Wonder, just as she does –
Because you love.
Because she, too,
Embodies all of these things.
And because I, too, know what it is
To bring a child into this world
On Resurrection Day.
