My Dad also has a good sense of humor,
and most importantly, he has a good heart,
although at times, he can very competitive,
and when he's right it's "next case" (as he is very smart).
And that moment is upon us,
after all, 50 years, Mom and Dad were wed,
and we've got some thoughts on our mind,
yes, there's some heartfelt words that need to be said.
What a happy anniversary
Hello, our wonderful Mom and Dad,
these words and pictures are just for you,
because we're very proud of who you are,
and yes, we're very proud of what you do.
We were together for seven years, married for two,
and we were trying to start our own family,
and I know you really wanted to be a Dad,
it's so unfair, I guess it was just not meant to be.
Always in a good mood, ready to do something else,
and I must admit, you did like to joke around,
but what I wouldn't give to hear your laugh once more,
because truly, it really was such a happy sound.
However, I know you would have been the best Dad ever,
because you were the finest husband on planet Earth,
and I know that (NAME) and (NAME) also miss you very much,
yes, (NAME), we all know your true and honest worth.
You did everything for me and you were happy to do it,
but your overwhelming generosity had no ends,
because you would do anything for anybody,
and you're missed by many loyal and trusted friends.
So Happy 75th Birthday,
That's really what these words are for,
here's to you, (NAME), you're truly wonderful,
and here's to our love, for evermore.
And we just wanted to say Happy 25th Anniversary,
I guess that's really what these words are for,
here's to you Mom and Dad, you're truly wonderful,
and here's to at least, another twenty five more.
And I'll never forget our beautiful, so perfect wedding,
I don't remember ever feeling as happy as I did on that day,
I will never forget the way you looked at me as you spoke,
your eyes said everything that you needed to say.
But this is meant to be a happy day,
happier for others than for some,
and I just wanted to share some thoughts,
because I wanted to tell you about my Mom:
Those six years were very tough,
but that's just when the tough got going,
and you showed Dad all of your love,
and gee, you did a lot of showing !
Hey, Dad, I know, at times, life can be great,
and then at others, it can be quite cruel and unkind,
and because of your recent battles,
well, they?ve brought quite a few things to mind.
Because I think of you practically ever hour,
and I hope you get over this real soon,
because Dad, to me, you?re my everything,
you?re my sky, my sun, my stars, my moon.
You gave me the courage to follow in your steps,
and at the end of day, that?s the greatest gift of all,
as Dad, because of you I walk taller,
in fact, I feel like I?m ten feel tall!
But I?m so glad you?ve found your happiness,
because in this life, you?ve given enough blood,
and now you?re ?flashier than a gold toothed rat?,
and you really do look as ?happy as a pig in mud?.
And even though I hate camping and fishing,
endless games of 500 in Cooma saw to that,
but I did get to meet my hero, John Farnham,
so to you Dad, I take off my hat.
I know you like a drink and a good chat,
but you?ve always given us an ear that?ll understand,
and I know you?ve been a very protective and proud father,
but to be honest, you?re the best Dad in all this land.
You?ve been a true rock to (NAME) and I,
but more than a Dad, you?ve been our friend,
and you?ll always have our respect, our love,
long after these earthbound journeys have their end.
I also wanted to say Happy 1st Anniversary,
I guess that's really what these words are for,
here's to you, <NAME>, you're truly wonderful,
and here's to our everlasting love, for evermore.
I know I've struggled a little with the move,
but seeing you happy, also makes a happier "me",
and I know that you like a touch of Shakespeare,
so I think we've answered "To be or not to be?"
I'd also like to say Happy 75th Birthday,
I guess that's really what these words are for,
here's to you, <NAME>, you're truly wonderful,
and here's to our everlasting love, for evermore.
Seriously, I would like us to be in more of a relationship,
I'd like to explore just where this journey ends,
but just in case, just in case that never happens,
I want you to know I'm also happy to be just friends.
Because this message is to meant build you up,
in the end, that's really what these words are for,
here's to you, <NAME>, you're wonderful, Happy Valentines,
and here's to us messaging and massaging, for evermore.
