Happy Birthday Walter
Happy Birthday Walter,
We met fifty years ago courtesy of the Goeggingers.
After dating you proposed marriage at a teacher's staff meeting,
I accepted and we were married by Dr. Wolf Goegginger.
I wore a beautiful gown of beige with golden threads,
You wore a handsome suit.
We went to Germany for our honeymoon,
Visited your parents in their beautiful house.
When we came back we bought a beautiful house in the country,
I gave birth to our handsome sons Kirk and Erik.
I remember you bringing us home from the hospital each time,
They grew up in the community of Bolton and went to school there.
Kirk and Erik graduated and went onto University,
They both married, Kirk married Jenn and they have two children Merrick and Maya.
Erik marrried his school sweatheart Lisette,
Erik and Lisette married in Costa Rica.
They sent me pictures of their wedding,
Very beautiful and well visited.
Kirk and Jenn married in Muskoka,
That was a picturesque wedding.
Father, Dr. wolf placed the sacred scarf over the couple,
Groom and bride arrived in a boat.
We had a very nice reception after,
I travelled with Antje and Michael.
Good memories and I am very thankful,
God blesses us this way,
