Kate Hudson Celebrates Mom Goldie Hawn’s 70th Birthday With a Poem & Ellie Goulding’s ‘Army’

Goldie Hawn turned 70 on Nov. 21st, and daughter Kate Hudson paid tribute to her with a sweet video on Instagram.

Ellie Goulding’s “Army” soundtracks the clip, with the lyrics “We both know what they say about us. But they don’t stand a chance because when I’m with you, when I’m with you, I’m standing with an army.” “Army” is off of the singer’s latest album, Delirium, released on Nov. 6.

“Happy 70th Mama I LOVE YOU,” Hudson wrote in the caption, alongside a poem that reads, in part: “She never seemed to follow in line// Always a bit on the outside, goofy by design// She danced her own beat// Played her own drum// Shook the world’s axis a bit being seemingly dumb// But dumb she was not// Smart as a whip// And her beauty was something many found hard to resist// But she had one desire that grew with the years// To be happy she says, to be happy without fear.”

On this day in the clouds I’m sure// A man had a plan for the twenty first// He took a sweet soul and said its time my dear// You must go back down to share your cheer// Your beauty will please// Your laughter will spread// You may even meet a man and be thirty years unwed// To many you will be their rising muse// And light will bath you in golden hues// So, with excitement she went back down to the earth// To meet her old friends, Laura Hawn to rebirth// She had no clue on that day what would be// And day by day it seemed God made her special in some way// She never seemed to follow in line// Always a bit on the outside, goofy by design// She danced her own beat// Played her own drum// Shook the worlds axis a bit being seemingly dumb// But dumb she was not// Smart as a whip// And her beauty was something many found hard to resist// But she had one desire that grew with the years// To be happy she says, to be happy without fear// People laughed in her face and said don’t be so silly// But she paid no mind to those who could not see as clearly// She may not have remembered that day in the clouds// But her message is pure and of the touch of God// Find your joy she says, what brings you joy// Live fearlessly facing the sun// Bath gently under the moon// Love all around you// Laugh till you cry// Cry till you laugh// We live till we die// She says live with all your might! Happy 70th Mama I LOVE YOU #MamaGoldie #70 #LiveWithAllYourMight #LoveMyMama #EllieGoulding #Army
