Where do I start, there’s so much so say,
there’s simply no one
like you!
I love you so much for the person you are,
and for all the things
that you do.
We have some history, don’t we;
in fact, a book we could pen.
Boy meets girl, boy loses girl;
boy finds his girl again.
How did we get so lucky,
to be best friends and lovers, too?
It means so very much to me
to share this birthday with you.
You give so much to others,
with nary a thought for yourself.
Running at a minute’s notice,
putting your own needs on the shelf.
I admire you for your loyalty to the moms
in their time of need.
As a son and son-in-law, dear one,
you’re the “cream of the crop” in
deed!
The hours you put in at Wendy’s
are demanding, to say the least.
Yet, we manage to find our way to the lake,
so you can catch a
fisherman’s feast.
I know there’s never enough time there;
I wish it wasn’t that way.
And you could spend all your time there,
in Pymatuning just fishing
away.
But, life calls with all of its duties,
yet for me, one thing
remains true:
It matters not where I am on this earth,
as long as I’m with you.
Laid back, quiet and gentle;
I love those qualities, dear.
To look at you, no one would know
you’re just a big “Teddy Bear”.
To know you is to love you,
and I’m the lucky one.
‘Cause you’re there for me,
come rain or come shine,
when all is
said and done!
Happy Birthday, Bill!
I adore you,
Sally
