Mama,

You didn't ask for it,
And you certainly didn't see it coming.
One minute you felt fine,
The next your heart was drumming.

I don't know if it was like that for you;
It happens different every time.
The feeling is so wonderful,
That it should be a crime.

I'm so pleased you've found love. 
You deserve it in every way.
I couldn't be happier for you,
And I hope every day is like your wedding day.
