My Special Birthday Card To You Poem by Almedia Knight-Oliver

No words could be found that could
tell you how delighted I am spending
this special day telling you how lucky
and privileged I am to be sharing this
day with you, my husband!

I could find no words in the store that said, “you’re
My friend in good times, my comforter in
times of sorrow-my reason for wonderful
yesterdays, and my promise for tomorrows!

Too, I found no words to say to you: “honey
I feel the same love for you today, your birthday,
that I felt for you the days before-even
before becoming your wife, and to make
this year and every year the best in your life!

I couldn’t even find final words to tell you: that this year’s
betters and worst, pains and sorrows, we stayed by each
other’s side today and tomorrow laughing and tearing in
uncertain hours and days and not knowing
what the future has in store for you and me
This I know, without a doubt, the best is yet to come.

Happy birthday, my dear sorry I didn’t have a birthday card
Lying on your pillow when you awaken-but sometimes, we must “have our say”
Here, wishing you a Happy Birthday! We’ll celebrate this weekend!
Perhaps, it wasn’t such a great idea getting married on your birthday. LOL
