My Dad is a person

who is loving and kind,

And often he knows

what I have on my mind.

He's someone who listens,

suggests, and defends.

My dad is one of my very best friends.

He's proud of my triumphs,

but when things go wrong,

My dad is patient

and helpful and strong.

In all that I do,

my dad's love plays a part.

There's always a place for him

deep in my heart.

And each year that passes,

I'm even more glad,

more grateful and proud

Just to call him my ever beloved dad.

Thank you, Daddy...

for listening and caring,

for giving and sharing.

But, especially, for always making me happy.

I miss you, so very much...

The Birthday Song - Corrinne May




Don't worry about that extra line
That's creeping up upon your face
It's just a part of nature's way
To say you've grown a little more
Trees have rings and thicker branches
Kids' shoes get a little tighter
Every year we're getting closer to who we're gonna be
It's time to celebrate the story of how you've come to be


Happy birthday my friend
Here's to all the years we've shared together
All the fun we've had
You're such a blessing
Such a joy in my life
May the good Lord bless you
And may all your dreams come true


So light a candle on your cake
For every smile you've helped create
For every heart and every soul
You've known to grow a little more
A few more pounds, a little more grey
Don't count the years just count the way
It takes a little time to go from water into wine
Don't ever lose the wonder of the child within your eyes


Happy birthday my friend
Here's to all the years we've shared together
All the fun we've had
It's such a blessing
Such a joy in my life
May the good Lord bless you
And may all your dreams come true
