Happy Birthday, Babe

Here now, we are much stronger from these years,
A tribute to this overflowing love,
Precious time, so full of mirth and cheers,
Provide my soul with blessings from above.

You bring me joy; I love thee more each day,
Before ye wake, I thank Him for His Grace,
In gift of thee, my scented rose bouquet,
Red ribbon wrapped ‘round gilded crystal vase,

Together, let us be forever more,
Helping, happy hearts that beat as one,
Devoted as we are, I do implore,
And seek thy ‘proving eyes like warming sun,

Your special day is nigh, my Dear, it’s true,
Babe, have a happy birthday!  I love you!
