Always in a good mood, ready to do something else,
and I must admit, you did like to joke around,
but what I wouldn't give to hear your laugh once more,
because truly, it really was such a happy sound.
Ah, Mignonne, in how few hours,
The petals of her purple flowers
All have faded, fallen, died;
Sad Nature, mother ruinous,
That seest thy fair child perish thus
'Twixt matin song and even tide.
I don't know how we are going to continue without you,
so I'm going to carry you here with me, in my soul,
for with you in my life, I did feel complete,
yes (NAME), you are the one that makes me completely whole.
Even after three years, I'm absolutely crazy about you,
but I really miss you on those fishing weekends,
I still get a pain in my heart when I know you're going away,
but look, I don't want to spoil your "passion" time, with your friends.
And what is that snow in your hair?
I bet you love those little white flakes.
Want to get rid of your dandruff?
Staying off the grog is all that it takes.
We have a 29 year difference in our age
but that has not stopped us from enjoying each other,
you're my best friend, my confidant,
you're my husband and yes, my lover.
Now, we have only been together for a little over 3 years,
I guess we met relatively late on in life,
but <NAME>, I just wanted to say that I'm proud of you,
I'm very proud and honored to be called your wife.
We just can't understand why you were taken from us,
but I guess in the end, you had to answer God's call,
He obviously had a greater purpose for you up there,
although what you achieved on Earth was by no means small.
And in your short life, you faced many obstacles,
in truth, there's just too many to individually list,
just know that you've taught us all so very much,
and yes, (NAME), you are going to be sadly missed.
Last year I searched so many stores,
in truth, I searched long and hard, high and low,
but I ended up giving you chocolates and a card,
and now there are some things you need to know.
Firstly, I think we'll begin by looking skywards,
and thanking those in the heavens above,
because we know we've been blessed to have shared you,
we know that we've been blessed with your love.
I was deeply in love with you after only a few dates,
and without being presumptuous, you were in love as well,
you made your commitment very clearly, very early on,
you obviously knew that we had a tale to tell.
The people in the adverts,
were always young and oh so bright,
slim, exciting and attractive,
their clothes seemed to fit just right.
And the seeds of greatness,
don't grow in the bottom of a vodka glass,
so let's think to your glorious future,
and not drink to the glories of your past.
So Happy 75th Birthday,
That's really what these words are for,
here's to you, (NAME), you're truly wonderful,
and here's to our love, for evermore.
