Happy birthday to my dearest wife.
As you waken each morning, I'm here.
Peaceful hope is my wish for your life.
Please, just know this. I'll always be near.

Yes, I know our voyage has been rough,
But the good always outweighed the bad.
If our pathway through life has been tough,
Recall those sweet moments that we had.

Tomorrow may not have time to spare.
Have faith, we'll handle all that may come. 
Doubtless, you and I have love to share,
And we've enjoyed living more than some.

Yesterday's journeys were far-ranging,
Toward distant climes and tempting highways.
Ours was a life of moving, changing;
Mining gold we found on those byways. 

Yet to come will be fresh roads to chart,
Don't forget, we have plans yet to write.
Each new day brings new hopes and a start,
At attempting to soar through life's light. 

Really, knowing we are still needed,
Each new day that we share is a treat. 
So touching your heart has succeeded,
Touch mine now and my life is complete.

Wife of mine, dearest soul mate from youth,
If you only trust one thing, trust this.
From this minute in time see the truth,
Every moment with you is my bliss.
