Sunshine and Roses

I'm a fan of sunshine
I love roses too!
Love the way they glisten
In the morning dew.
I'm not afraid of raindrops
And can even enjoy a storm
But I love to be here with you
Where I feel safe and warm!
I love you in the sunshine
As we enjoy the view
Of the tiny jeweled roses
In our garden outside the door.
And when you protect me from life's storms
I love you even more.
I will love you forever
Forever and a day
For with you, my sweetheart
The sun never goes away.
Happy Birthday Sweetie!

First Birthday

Mommy is Crying...First Birthday

There is cake and icecream
And there are presents all wrapped
I've been really good today
I'm all rested and napped.

But mommy has tear stains
All over her cheeks
And her voice comes out shaky
When my mommy speaks...

Why isn't she laughing
Why is Mommy crying today?
Doesn't she remember that
This is my first birthday???

Happy 100th Birthday!

Happy Birthday
What a joyous thing to do--
Celebrate your 100th year with you.
What a wonderful day to celebrate and sing
And pray that happiness this new year brings.
Times have changed since you were a kid
And we love to hear about the things you did.
We love the wonderful stories you tell
And you tell them so very well.
You bring such blessings to our lives
And no better friend could there ever be
So on the occasion of your birthday
I thank God for the dear friend He gave to me!

Today is a Special Day

I awoke with that feeling
That something was in the air-
Something very special
About someone for whom I care.

What could it be that awoke me
From my slumber, oh so sweet?
Well, I remembered it was the birthday
Of someone so wonderfully unique!

I could hardly wait to tell you
And send my wishes on their way
To tell you that I love you
And wish you a Happy Birthday today!

Absent on Birthday

Today was your birthday
And I couldn't be there
But I sent my birthday wishes
And a loving birthday prayer.

Today was your birthday
And I was too far away
To be there to celebrate
Your very special day.

Today was your birthday
And I thought of it all night
As I looked forward to being home again
To make your world seem right.

Missing Your Birthday

I can't be there today
To wish you well
But this card is loaded with
More love than you can tell.

Happy Birthday and best wishes
Hugs and Kisses for you too
I hope that since I can't be there
This little card will do!
