Andrew's 31st Birthday Poem My darling it’s your birthday My prayer for you today Is may you be happy and well Making the most out of this celebration Intimate times we share Caring for one another Not just on our birthdays But every day of the year Is a celebration of our love Whom we thank for From God above I know this last year has been tough Our relationship has been tested But we’ve come through it together All the more stronger and richer For our foundation is strong And we’ll always get along Till the end of time No matter what life throws us We handle it together Including my current lack of gift All I can afford for now Is this poem and card With lots of love And a promise for tomorrow When I am rich I’ll be spoiling you As you spoil me in your love I suppose this tough time Has taught me what real treasures are Not in your bank balance But what’s in your heart Money can’t buy it all Not true love, good health And genuine friendship These are things you acquire Some you can contribute to But some is just life’s cards Dealt you for the lesson Learn and grow what you can And become better for it As we have in our relationship The lesson for today my love Is to enjoy and savor the moment I really hope your 31st is as memorable As your 21st except with a lot more love Happy birthday sweetheart Loving you now and forever Your wife – Elizabeth © Elizabeth 25th March 2001 "Andrew's birthday cannot go by without a poem from me. If I can't do a birthday poem for my hubby dearest, then what kind of poet am I? This birthday of Andrew's was the first birthday after my dad died, and I was between jobs, at the time. It was a particularly difficult time for us financially, and relationship wise, as we were both suffering in our grief, over loosing my dad. But just because someone dies, doesn't mean that life stops! Birthdays are still celebrated and those left behind must continue on living. So in this poem, that's what we're doing, and I'm expressing my love for Andrew, the best way (G rated) that I can, in written form. Happy birthday honey, with many more returns, celebrated and shared together."
