To the one who shares my troubles as well as my laughter,
who knows me as I really am, and loves me still.
For all the times I have neglected
to do the needed things,
for all the times I have forgotten
to say the important words, know this.
You are the one who brings
beauty and order to my life.
You are the one who causes my breath
to catch in my throat each time you walk into a room.
You are the one who provides the happiness,
the peace, and the passion to each day I live.
You are my love.
To my dearest companion throughout this life,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
