I remember the time she woke me up by yelling,
she knew that a lay in bed was something that I would like,
she was screaming at me to get my stuff off the porch,
but when I got there, there was my brand new birthday bike.

I remember when you came home and said you were born again,
and I think that rebirth made you a better man,
you seemed kinder, closer, you said ?I love you? more,
and spending time with us became your lifelong plan.

Because this metrosexual loves you very much,
even with air-con and your 5 minute tan,
you make me feel complete, so wonderful,
all in all, you make me a much better man.

However, it wasn't shining so brightly on your birthday,
if I recall (you won't remember), you were twenty one,
so wasted, you had to be carried up the stairs by a friend,
that night, certainly, your drinking days were done.

Picture a workaholic, hiking across the desert,
and that sort of sums up our "no bullshit" Dad,
he's a tough business man, "an accountant by trade",
but at selling toilets, he's not at all half bad.

You've always been such a kind and generous man,
you've helped many people when they've had difficult times,
and I just wanted to thank you for being you,
you are the one that has put the reason in these rhymes.

Although my first husband was a very good man,
and truly, we had many good times together,
but I know I've never felt this way before,
because what we share will last forever and ever.

Actually, there's so much I'm going to miss about him,
he was loving, caring, he was just, well, he was just and fair,
he always listened, he was someone who I could count on,
he was not a man of many words, but he was always there.

So Happy 75th Birthday,
That's really what these words are for,
here's to you, (NAME), you're truly wonderful,
and here's to our love, for evermore.

Because you must have been a miracle child,
for now you truly are a remarkable man,
you are just like "Patch Adams",
caring, lovable and just doing what you can.

(NAME) was my 18th birthday present from his room-mate,
on the card, it said "too big to wrap, but I know you'll love him",
and the following day I told my parents I would marry (NAME),
and now I can say, 39 glorious years later, that was no teenage whim.

So, you come home and rub her feet,
and I'll tell you, we both felt the benefit of that,
and for the record, Mom married her best friend in St.Lucia,
Mom says you're all man plus more (a matter of fact).

And now it's been five years plus six more,
if I'm not mistaken, that's a total of eleven,
and I've spent that time with my dream man,
so here on Earth, I've already found my heaven.

Now all this, started exactly 60 years ago,
well, sixty years and nine months to be precise,
and that's when this man's life story started out,
and what a story! (And didn't he turn out so very nice?)

And I just wanted to say Happy 60th Birthday,
I guess that's really what these words are for,
here's to you, (NAME), you're truly wonderful,
and here's to our everlasting love, for evermore.

And I also wanted to Happy 80th Birthday,
I guess that's really what these words are for,
here's to you, (NAME), grandmother, you're truly wonderful,
and here's to at least another eighty more!

I also wanted to say "Happy Birthday",
but there's a few other words that need to be said,
because I know I'm a hot tempered guy,
and some times my tongue gets easily led.

Just like the sun that streamed through the stained glass windows,
a simple family wedding, marrying the man of my dreams,
I'll never forget the harpist, the beautiful small chapel,
that's where we became one of the world's finest teams.

So I think we'll finish by saying Happy 60th Birthday,
I guess that's really what these words are for,
here's to you, Dad, you're truly wonderful,
and here's to staying a big kid, for evermore.

We'll never forget (NAME) and (NAME) boxing in the backyard,
that was the same backyard where I helped to rake the leaves,
we went shopping and then onto lunch for my birthday,
these are the moments for which my heart grieves.

It's just our way of saying "Happy 60th Birthday",
I guess that's really what these words are for,
here's to you, Mom, you're truly wonderful,
and here's to cruising through life, for evermore.

I want to thank you Doctor (NAME),
for not only your remarkable daring,
but I want to thank you for being the man that you are,
personable, loving and very caring.

She also taught me how to shop for and cook spaghetti and meatballs,
she took me to the Feather Club for dinner and dancing on my birthday,
she always knew what you needed and it was often very simple,
and that one line leaves so much left to say:

Actually, I could go on and on and on,
because truly, you're the greatest man I've ever met,
and although we've shared so many wonderful times,
as the saying goes: "You ain't seen nothing yet".

And we know you just wanted to go to Las Vegas,
you didn't really want a party, let alone a cake,
but we wanted to say "thank you" in a special way,
so here's another clue, let's call it a wake.

I'd also like to say Happy 75th Birthday,
I guess that's really what these words are for,
here's to you, <NAME>, you're truly wonderful,
and here's to our everlasting love, for evermore.

I am a better person since I met you,
you make me want to be the best that I can,
and I want to give you the happiness that you deserve,
you see, I only want the very best for my man.

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.

Look, I'm sorry I was a bit of a "stinker",
but it was a little cramped on the inside,
and just like Dad, I'm a bit of a fidget,
but I couldn't have picked a finer man - even if I'd tried.
