Birthdays

The seeds of our special friendship,
were sown when our boys were two
Who knew that the challenge of allergies
would bring me so close to you.
You're more than just a special friend,
 you're a sister and also a 'wife'
Who is there to ease the burden of an often stressful life.
Our husbands often say to us
without us where would you girls be
Well while we love our husbands,
you and I get along famously.
You're a humble, gentle spirit
always thoughtful to your core
You know just what I'm thinking
in a friend who could ask for more!
As  a wife, a friend, a mother
there's no end to the love you share
I'm so blessed that I can count on you -
you're always there to care.
And so on this your birthday,
I celebrate the gift of a treasured friend
May your day be sheer perfection -
 time for YOU leisure time to spend.
My hope is that this birthday you will feel such peace of mind
An easy going rhythm of a very special kind.
Like the setting sun at Hilton Head,
the calm by the ocean's shore
May health and joy and happiness
be what this next year has in store.
Happy Birthday With My Love,

A 30th Birthday Tribute:

Star Trek and the Muppets were the movies back in '79
To see Alien or Rocky II, at the box office there'd be a long line.
Jimmy Carter was the President and "I Will Survive" a favorite song
On October 17th to bless this world, you Jonathan came along.
You are an amazing person overflowing with love in your heart
Your generosity and kindness were evident right from the start.
When thinking about a pack of wolves,
most people feel fear and dread
You are intrigued by their mystery,
their cunning and beauty instead.
You delight in bringing joy to others
by preparing a wonderful feast
The families who partake of your passion,
are lucky to say the least.
The spark in your eyes is infectious -
you're delightful to just be around
Whenever we're together, I know that Live, Laugh and Love abound!
No matter what the challenge,
you always help melt the stress of the day
Let's remember to not sweat the small stuff
 as we travel on  journey's way.
To celebrate your birthday is a joy that's second to none
To pay tribute to an extraordinary man -
my dear friend, a brother, a son.
As you begin your new decade,
my birthday wish for you
Is that you know all of God's blessings
every day the entire year through.

Happy 30th Birthday
With love,
