Listen to a loving Mum
Who really knows the score
I've been through all the trials of life
But never closed the door
I've been through all the tough times
I've seen it all before
But, no matter what life threw at me
I never closed the door
So I can say just don't give up
These problems you endure
Will surely pass and life at last
Will be really good once more
Always keep the door open to let tomorrow in
2
I may not always tell you
What your friendship means to me
Or thank you - just for being
All a friend could ever be
But we know each other pretty well
And in your special way
I'm sure you understand the thoughts
This brings to you today
3
Special thoughts are with you
Lots more than you know
And if thoughts alone
Could bring good health
Our wishes would make you well
Get well very soon
4
May sunshine fill your life
Every day in every room
Of your new home
5
You never come to mind
Without a smile and loving thought
That's why you're wished
More pleasure
Than a birthday every brought
HAVE A WONDERFUL BIRTHDAY
32
Christmas brings us closer
It's a special time of year
A family time and one to share
With those we hold most dear
Christmas brings us closer
And like this wish it brings
Some very precious memories
And life's most happy things
33
Christmas time wishes
For warmth and good cheer
Happiness now and in the New Year
34
May this Christmas be filled
With happiness in all that you do
And may this joy continue
The whole year through
Wishing you a Merry Christmas
And a Happy New Year
40
A new baby boy
A bundle of joy
A real little lad
To drive you both mad
Celebrations are due
So we wish all of you
Our love and good wishes
With cuddles and kisses
41
A girl, what a blessing
An angel from heaven
Send down in your care
To steal away your heart
Forever
42
Each passing day brings me
Closer to you
So close that I can feel
What you feel
Love what you love
And know that you were
Truly heaven sent
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY
45
Sending lots of heartfelt wishes
So far across the sea
With millions of kisses
To you with love from me
You're a brother who is special
In every kind of way
So celebrate you life in full
On your 50th Birthday
46
May the stars up in the heavens
Shine down to light your way
When you celebrate your birthday
On your very special day
Party on until it's sunrise
Till all the stars have gone
There will never be another day
When you are 21
61
We are sorry you're leaving today
For an increase in status and pay
We'll miss your sharp wit
But know that you'll fit
In that job which is so far away
GOOD LUCK IN YOU NEW JOB

On your birthday I wish I could give you
The Sun, the Moon and the Stars
The Sun to warm your heart with joy
The Moon to light your life with beauty
The Stars to make your every dream come true
Then you would know how much I love you
And wish you the best always

I looked and saw your eyes in the shadow of your hair
As a traveller sees the stream in the shadow of the wood
I looked and saw your heart in the shadow of your eyes
As a seeker sees the gold in the shadow of the stream
I looked and saw your love in the shadow of your heart
As a diver sees the pearl in the shadow of the sea
Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1884-1882) English Poet

If you can always be as close
If you can always be as close
And as happy as today
Yet be secure enough to grow
And change along the way
If you can keep for you alone
Your love as man and wife
Yet find the time to share your joy
With others in your life
If you can be as one
And walk through marriage hand in hand
Yet still support the goals and dreams
That each of you have planned
If you can dare to always go
Your separate ways together
Then all the wonder of today
Will stay with you forever
Anon

Marriage is a golden chain
Marriage is a golden chain
The links are friends so dear
And like a rare and precious jewel
It's treasured more each year
It's clasped together firmly
With a love that's deep and true
And it's rich in happy memories
And fond recollection too…
Time can't destroy it's beauty
For, as long as memory lives,
Years can't erase the pleasure
That the joy of marriage gives
For marriage is a priceless gift
That can't be bought or sold
But to have an understanding heart
Is worth far more than gold…
And the chain of marriage
Is a strong and powerful tie
Binding kindred hearts together
As the years go passing by.

Daughter's 21st
It seems unbelievable
This special day is here
So many happy memories shared
Through every golden year
We'll look back with such happiness
Amidst your celebrations
Remembering the things we've shared
The trials and tribulations
For time has flown so very fast
To bring us to this day
Those fluffy clouds of childhood
Have completely blown away
And now we just see skies of blue
With sunshine up above
Our world is bathed in rainbows
Which are coloured with our love
No daughter could have given more
You're such a source of pride
And words are not enough
To show the things we feel inside
So all that's left to say
Is have a day of pure delight
You are a star in every way
And no-one shines so bright
12
Thanks for taking time for all the little things
The kind and thoughtful things you say and do
They hold us close and keep our love together
Thanks for taking time for being me and you
Anon

ANNIVERSARY
How can I hope to thank you
For the happy times we've had
Or for the times you've held me
When I was feeling sad
How can I find the words to show
The love within my heart
That belongs to only you
Just as it has right from the start
No words could ever tell you
How much you mean to me
For you unlocked my heart
And forever hold the key
And though our skies are sometimes
Dark and grey instead of blue
The love we share keeps us warm
Till the sun comes shining through
So thank you for your love so sweet
You'll never truly know
How happy you have made me
And how much I love you so
