On Your Birthday, You I Bless
We mark a milestone in your life
Not a room-mate, actually my wife
You bring me daily grief and joy
Feelings that no longer make me coy
I am grateful that I found you
One beat, now in hearts two
Three children we happily share
Their upbringing, we both bear
You to me, add prudence true
A virtue I demonstrate in a moon blue
Family finances are your cup of tea
Areas in which I am very much at sea
You are the medicine I needed
My independence, I gladly ceded
I am learning to be self-centered, less
On your birthday, you I bless
