A Special Birthday Party
June twelfth, two thousand twelve, a special date
for all our family to gather near
to offer tribute and to celebrate,
the birthday of my husband held so dear.
We gathered at a steak house in a park;
some fifty friends and family were there,
with food and drink and birthday cake to mark
this special day revered with love and care.
He had attained age seventy and five,
a milestone cherished by his family.
A few years back, by-pass kept him alive...
miraculous for sure, and gladly he
outlived his dad, granddad, and great-grand too,
who passed from heart disease before their time.
This special birthday brought us hope anew
for younger members now within their prime.
Still doing well; with grace of God, come soon,
age seventy and nine he'll be this June.
