she was born
the month fdr died
as jupiter and neptune
ruled the night.
she rarely hears
any learn’d astronomer
much less look up in perfect silence,
though she has been known
to greet with much applause.
she may not know
about redshifts
or the Hubble constant
if asked
she can tell you about
the center of the universe.

So, it's my mom's 70th birthday and I figured I'd write her a poem. In case it's not obvious, this is meant to be affectionate. :)
