HAPPY BIRTHDAY
SWEETHEART

Happy Birthday sweetheart,

dear one that I adore
Whether 8 or 80

Sharing each tomorrow
and loving ever more

HAPPY BIRTHDAY
MY LOVE

Just because I love you, I’d try to steal the stars
I’d tag a comet’s tail or even hitch a lift to Mars
I’d gather up some stardust and send it down to you
Wrapped around in velvet sky to show my love is true
But most of all my Darling, I’d leap to Heaven above
To wish a Happy Birthday to the only one I love
******

Writing poems for Tony is such a joy!

A very special birthday is wished for you today
The kind that makes you happy in every single way

Without you letting

special place
within the heart of me
So happy birthday,
dearest brother,
here’s a great big kiss
With wishes
for your happiness
from your loving sis.

There’s no-one else in all the world as wonderful as you
And no-one else deserves the love I give, for ever true

The things that make you extra-special, in a class apart
And there’s no birthday greeting that truly can convey
The multitude of special blessings wished for you today
So I’ll just say it simply, straight from the heart so true
Have a very happy birthday my beloved, I love you

******

WITH ALL MY HEART

With all my heart I love you
With all my heart I care
You make my life much better
Just knowing you are there

I’m nothing dear without you
Merely lost and all folorn
So when your birthday comes
I bless the day you were born

Happy Birthday Darling
Have a really lovely day
And a year to follow
That’s perfect in every way

******


JUST FOR YOU

This birthday greeting
is meant to show
how very much I love you so
But these simple words
just cannot say
how my love grows for you
each day

This wish for a happy birthday time
Is just for you
Dearest love of mine
Good luck, good health
And happiness too
Are what I am wishing
Now for you
******


BIRTHDAY LOVE

Loving is holding
your dear hand in mine
sharing together
a love that’s so fine
Loving means caring

Bringing you happiness
In every way

And wings on my feet
Loving means trying to do all I can
To make life perfect
for my special man

Loving means making these wishes for you
Not just for today but
all your life through
Love, health and happiness
Peace and true joy
All these I wish for my own
“birthday boy”

I wrote the next poem for my friend Dané to give to his wife Mildred

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MILDRED

Because it´s your birthday I want you to know
Just why it is Mildred that I love you so

My friend and companion, my partner and guide
You make my life perfect with you at my side

You´re the perfect mother and great grandma too
So kind to everyone, your loving shines through

A whizz in the kitchen, your scones are the best
Whatever you´re cooking just beats all the rest

With your magical touch and fingers of green
You´ve made the best garden ever to be seen

A fountain of wisdom, good sense and advice
You make people happy – you really are nice

You´re the love of my heart and the light of my life
My Beloved Mildred, my wonderful wife

Happy Birthday!

******
