Happy 80th birthday to my Mom – song – Happy Revolution Day
Tuesday, May 5th, 2026(With thanks to How Kuff for the concept of birthdays as revolution days)
God knows you weren’t the perfect parent
God knows I wasn’t the perfect child
You were a bit too bound by your tribe
I was maybe a bit too wild
But we’ve found our way through the years
And ended up as friends
You were there at the place where my road started
I’ll be there at the place yours ends
Happy revolution day
One more time around
Where the falling angel meets the rising ape
Standing on holy ground
You’ve been there through bad times and good
I’ll been there through dark and light
We’ve found many things to talk about
In this shadow play of wrong and right
You’ve made it through 80 journeys around the sun
With the laughter and the tears
And I feel certain that you find wisdom
In the exposure to the years
Happy revolution day
One more time around
I hope the laughter has outweighed the tears
I hope whatever you looked for you found
