A Half Century Celebration

My hubby turns the big 5-0 today He’s still a handsome man, what can I say? His presence fills each room that he walks in A smile like his is one that’s meant to win There’s more of him now than there was before Yet his physique is still one to adore His lips are full and luscious, lovely sight They make one want to kiss all day and night He is a man who will not bend to age The years that pass just make him more a sage The silver in his hair is dear to me His wisdom is what guides our family He is not one to delve into romance Unless, of course, there is some circumstance He prides himself that he can tell a joke Because he knows his finance, we’re not broke He is so proud of where he has been bred From River Nile his heart and soul were fed I wish that I could gift him lots of wealth And keep him through the years in perfect health Though I cannot lay claim to “perfect wife” I may have caused him drama and some strife True to his name, he is a great AMIR (prince) To all who call him friend, his heart is near Now half a century we celebrate With goodies and with cake we fill his plate We sing him birthday songs and clap with glee and wish him years as sweet as they can be Eileen Ghali September 24, 2017
