Parking Lot Boogie

I’m so sad mom
That I’m missing the chance
To be with you on your birthday
and to watch you dance

Yet your spirit I admire
You’ll celebrate with style
With friends in a parking lot
You’ll boogie for a while

Enjoy your special night
even if it’s a bit chilly
Let others ponder
the magic of being silly

You are so amazing
the youngest eighty I know
The music stills moves you
Whether it’s fast or slow

So open all the windows
of your shiny Ford Escape
Fly to the sound of the Radio
my hero without a cape

May the night skies twinkle 
to the sound of the beat
and the pavement marvel
at the movement of your feet

For you my dear mom
are a one of a kind
and I’ll be there dancing with you
Even though it’s just in my mind.


I love you mom
Happy Eightieth Birthday!

I also want to do a shoutout to my friend Eileen Manassian who shares the same birthday as my mom. I hope you have an amazing day Eileen. My friends, please drop by and wish Eileen a Happy Happy Birthday! The added bonus is that you will get to read her amazing poetry.
