It dawned on me this morning that you are getting older
Suddenly, I noticed a few extra grey hairs in your beard,
Your face looks a lot rounder than I remember from our wedding day
Awww baby you are married, so that’s ok.
Today, you celebrate another milestone
Today, you celebrate another year
But we didn’t celebrate your birthday with balloons or flares
We didn’t celebrate your birthday with gifts or cheers.
Today we celebrated your birthday with
Love and care
We sang for you
I made you a special dinner
And the boys made you a cake.
I sat across from you wondering what to say
What do I say that I haven’t said before?
What do I do that I haven’t done before?
You smile at me as though you knew what I was thinking and said, “It’s okay, I have all that need right here with me.”
I think, I know you do as I smile back at you…Happy birthday, my dear husband.
