We’ve all benefited
From the smiles that he shares
His humor and great wit
Always show that he cares
But behind the laughter
Is a man who’s known grief
A kind heart craving peace
A soul needing relief
My wishes for his day
Form a very long list
I hope he is given
Every happiness
May love wrap around him
Touch his heart, make him whole
May good health be the rule
Let him relish his role
As a doting father
To his daughter and son
May he find fulfillment
And enjoy lots of fun
He makes this world brighter
With the kindness he lives
May he inhale the joy
He generously gives
I’m so very grateful
That my life has been blessed
By sharing a friendship
With Toe – this world’s finest!!!

Toerag: You should know I wouldn't lose your signature pic! LOL As for praying... you know I've made nagging God my full time job, sweets... and I hid His earplugs! *G*

So sorry I had to miss this. Off the work computer I find it hard to  play. But Toe,  I will always remember all you wrote and miss the humor and some of your serious sides also. I hope your special day was the best. latearrival

Well, I'm glad that latearrival was late with her reply! That popped this post back up so that I could see it! Now I'm even later than late!

I did, however, wish our deer Toe "Happy Birthday" on his actual BD ~ but I missed this special greeting from your heart to his.

~ and Toe, ya knows I lovesya! ~ Oh, and I won't divulge how ancient you truly are!!! If anyone asks, I'll deny that I know!

Here's a hug for two fine people poets!


Linda
