I have been  with you through many of these.
Taking you back to a moment when conceived
These special remembered reminders of life.
Years and years before you were ever a wife.

Count them, one by one as your memories fly
When you are alone, sad, or just time to sigh
Keep them, store them, remember them when
your days are bright or your nights are dim.

Take me with you on your special birthday
Let me help pass this annual time away.
For only when I am there sharing with you
will your birthday be so special for me too.

You look into a mirror of time reflecting age
as years of your life pass by on life’s stage.
I don’t care if you become a hundred and two
for you my dear, ever young to me are you.
Happy Birthday my dearest precious bride.  
We ride on the  winds as we feel the tide.
We celebrate our special days side by side.
For This birthday is one to keep and not hide.

And it is true...you only get better with age.
Come sit together and turn another life's page.

Birthday wishes are very magic...
for they are made of stardust and a special kind of wonder.
Your wife is one lucky lady and I am sure she knows it.
Wish her all the best for me, and btw....good write as usual Barry!
~hugs...this time for that special lady~ Nancy.

~I've loved you forever, in lifetimes before.~
