- Happy Birthday Gary -

The first meeting is like sweetness ....

words just melt with magic

It's like enchanting winds

blowing among the trees in the forest

singing in the bay one song

music of ocean waves dance with joy

in the sun's last blush

blowing a trumpet happy birthday

may happiness warmly hold your heart

on this your special day





Poem from Liam McDaid and Anne-Lise Andresen
