Now it's been said that (NAME) likes his food,
and if it was an Olympic sport, he'd win the 'eat,
but of all the husbands on this planet,
I know I'm lucky (because mine just can't be beat).
She loved to go "commando" when shopping (inside joke),
and Misty and Snickers are her two dogs that she lived for,
she loved sports, the Boston Celtics and Larry Byrd,
she is the rock of our family (and will be for evermore).
I remember your beautiful speech and the chocolates,
and never has there been a more thoughtful gift,
but I just got embarrassed and then pathetically angry,
now I just realize you were trying to give me a lift.
Our telepathy is such a beautiful gift,
and it's one that I treasure and behold,
and I'm so looking forward to our future,
to our future stories, as yes unwritten and untold.
She loved the Lord and shared that gift with us all,
she had a big heart and taught us all how to give,
she was always thinking of and doing for others,
in truth, I think she taught us all how to live.
You are the greatest gift on earth,
in fact, a gift from God above,
and now I know the meaning of marriage,
and now I know the meaning of true love.
He marveled in the miracle of medicine,
when my twins miraculously pulled through
and he, like them, is a gift from God
and you should know that we're all very proud of you.
Maybe we should have put it in our gift baskets,
but I guess we were busy enough just with the flowers,
I remember Dad helping mom and I with the deliveries,
and he'd still make us laugh (after working all hours).
Modest Mum has always lived in an "apartment",
and she keeps trying to get Dad off his junk food,
and Dad's been known to be a lot of wasp killer,
so insects watch out (especially if he's in the mood).
She loved the Lord and shared that gift with us all,
she had a big heart and taught us all how to give,
she was always thinking of and doing for others,
in truth, I think she taught us all how to live.
She loved the Lord and shared that gift with us all,

in truth, I think she taught us all how to live.
Do you remember ?
The happiness, the food, the wine ?
And will you remember ?
The Xmas of (YEAR) ?
And you're such a perfect gent, a true romantic,
your little presents always give me a such lift,
and you've told me that even when we're married,
you said that you'll still make a point of giving me a gift.
Well, I think "you", are indeed, my real gift,
because I love you truly, with all my heart and soul,
for with you in my life, I feel complete,
you are the one that makes me completely whole.
You always give two hundred per cent to your family,
laundry, cleaning, gourmet dinners every night
and our dinner conversations are always interesting,
who said engineers are not that bright?
But we managed to get through that year,
and the next year you moved down the street from me,
you bought me a puppy, (NAME), for my birthday,
and truly, that was the best gift there ever will be.
And I?ll never forget our Christmas times,
especially that feeling on Christmas Eve,
Dad with his food, Mom with her vodka
and we went to sleep with a dream to believe.
So thanks ? to the owners,
For their cash, dedication and support,
Their kind of loyalty,
Is a gift that can?t be bought.
You have this habit, no, like we said, it's a wonderful gift,
you have an ability to put the air under people's wings,
and a few words from you can make our hearts soar,
but that's only part of the magic that (NAME) brings.
Your gift for entertaining is legendary,
it's what legends are all about,
you bring the whole family together,
Martha Stewart had better watch out!
And you're such a perfect gent, a true romantic,
your little presents always give me a such lift,
and you've told me that even when we're married,
you said that you'll still make a point of giving me a gift.
Because you have persistently and consistently loved us,
and it seems like 'you' is always the last thing on your mind,
you have this wonderful gift of being able to inspire,
and we know that's a treasure and so very hard to find.
But you've always given us so much in our lives,
in truth, you've given the greatest gift, that's your time,
you still go to every school and sporting event,
truly, you've put the reason in every rhyme.
As you know, it?s our one year anniversary,
and I?ve really enjoyed our first year together,
and I?ve been struggling to get you something affordable and memorable,
a type of gift that we?ll treasure and cherish forever.
You gave me the courage to follow in your steps,
and at the end of day, that?s the greatest gift of all,
as Dad, because of you I walk taller,
in fact, I feel like I?m ten feel tall!
Well, I think "you", are indeed, my real gift,
because I love you truly, with all my heart and soul,
for with you in my life, I feel complete,
you are the one that makes me completely whole.
Truly, I think you're a gift from God for (NAME) and I,
so gratefully, I will turn my eyes to the heavens above,
because I know I've been blessed to have shared you,
I know that I've been blessed with your love.
So know that I've finally forgiven you,
(and that's a pretty good place to start),
and please accept my birthday gift of love,
some forgiving words from the heart !
You love your fine food,
after all, you have exquisite taste,
and slowly you savor your courses,
after all; more feed, less haste !
