Mom's 60th: Tell Me Your Story

Tell me your story – I am here listening:

About higher souls and chosen roles

And learning lessons since your birth;

About taking part in life’s great art

And bringing healing to the earth.

 

Tell me your story: I want to know all

About swarming bees and chimpanzees

And throwing stones for your pet dog;

About dairy rounds and farmyard sounds

And fairies inside hollow logs.

 

Tell me your story: I want to know all

About love affairs and riding mares

And shooting trophies that you won;

About teenage flights and party nights

And meeting him – that special one.

 

Tell me your story: I want to know all

About wedding bells and baby spells

And building your own house of dreams;

About paddling days and bush-war frays

And learning what true friendship means.

 

Tell me your story: I want to know all

About taking stands and moving lands

And starting over once again;

About camping trips and scouting tips

And growing esoteric ken.

 

Tell me your story: I want to know all

About hiking trails and mother’s tales

And children growing up too soon;

About wedded hands and shifting sands

And dancing to the Nana tune.

 

Tell me your story: I want to know all

About crossing seas and great oak trees

And feeling that you had come home;

About gardens green and countries seen

And shedding light where’re you roam.

 

Tell me your story – I am listening still:

About loved ones lost and heartache’s cost

And moments filled with joy as well;

About living true and being you –

There’s such a story left to tell!
