A Birthday Wish

Some years ago The economy set us back Like many others There was no money for extras So, on my wife birthday I made my wife breakfast in bed, Like I do most every morning, but THIS time I gave her the one gift That I could afford, a poem Nothing special, just to the point Dear I wanted to get you a diamond that's blue A pair of earring all shinny and new I couldn't buy you, new shoes or a shirt Some socks or a blouse, a purse or a skirt A bucket or box, or a bag full of cash A Party or Ball, even a Bash A candle or card, with ribbon and bow I really would like too I hope that you know I sure couldn't get you, all of these things And I feel like a frog, more than King I wished I could get you the moon, up above But the one thing I got you "IS A MAN FULL OF LOVE" HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY LOVE ! (Yes girls, I did make it up to her soon after, In Diamonds & gold)
