It's your birthday again, rejoice and be glad. Your family is here to cheer you, to celebrate your birthday. Smile, embrace your day. We are all alive for a reason. Mother. God gives us our birthday as many as He has in store. Your sons and daughters are presenting to you your fifth and sixth generation. Mother. Mothers give us endless love. There's miles of tribulation. Mother. Our greatest rewards we don't realize. But as we grow in knowledge, we begin to acknowledge our foundation began with our Mother. Mother. Our Mother's most blessed contribution to this life is her sons and daughters she gave birth to. That fifth and sixth generation gave praise and salute our dedicated mother, too. Mother.
