Notes About The Poem

Our time together never gets old.

Today Is April Twenty Third

Today is April Twenty Third

Today is April twenty third,
It's the best day of my life.
In the event, you haven't heard,
It's the birthday, of  Barb, my wife.

Today she is three score and ten
She is my moon and sun 
Our lives together did begin
When she was one score one

I know that God was looking 
And was watching out for me
He planned my wedding booking
To the best wife there could be

This is not an anniversary write
Though it sounds it could be so
Her birthday, remembered, since that night,
We were married long ago.

Now that I've publicly declared
The birthday of my mate,
And how our lives together fared,
How she was born on this date,

It's time I moved this poem along
To wish the one that it's about
A Happy Birthday with a song
When she awakes,  I'll sing it out
  

(personal to Barbara)
Happy Birthday, sweetheart
Wife, lover and best friend
In my life, you are the best part 
And will be, 'til the end

It's three thirty in the morning time
As I write this in our home
Must close this rather lengthy rhyme
Ere it becomes a tome

In closing, I would like to say
I love you more and more
Looking forward to each birthday
As you can see, I'm keeping score
