You?re a fabulous grandfather and papa,
and I can?t wait until our baby meets you, face to face,
because I know <NAME> and <NAME> love you so,
and you?ve made all our world?s a much better place.
We've been apart since our wedding,
a cold wintry morning on (DATE)
but it's only our jobs and circumstance that could separate us,
because only with you, my world's a better place to be.
I'd also like to say Happy 75th Birthday,
I guess that's really what these words are for,
here's to you, <NAME>, you're truly wonderful,
and here's to our everlasting love, for evermore.
Mind you, Dad worked at his Kraft for 45 years,
and at his retirement party, he received many an accolade,
all his colleagues just wanted to thank him,
but we too wanted to thank him for the role that he's played.
I couldn't imagine my world without you,
and you've certainly made that world a great place to be,
and no matter how busy I get in my daily dealings,
I always remember just how much you really mean to me.
You're so strong in your convictions,
you're a member of National Honor Society,
and we just wanted to thank you for being you,
you've made our world's a great place to be.
I also wanted to say "Happy Birthday",
but there's a few other words that need to be said,
because I know I'm a hot tempered guy,
and some times my tongue gets easily led.
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.
We'll never forget the family fishing trips to (PLACE)
and Dad acting like he wanted to catch the biggest and the most,
but he was really happy when we hauled in a big one (Perch don't count),
and Mom made sure we were well fed (as in the evening, we'd naturally boast).
We will love and support you always,
we'll pick you up if you happen to scrape your knee,
but in the meantime, we just wanted to say Happy Graduation,
and thanks (NAME), you make the world a great place to be.
I wouldn't trade you for anything in the world,
all the tea in China or all the fishes in the sea,
because I love you so very, very much,
you've made my world a great place to be.
You see, we have this special, spiritual connection,
truly, you put the grand in Grandmother
and at crucial times, you've been my confidant,
you hold a special place here, like no other.
I remember the time when Andrea got caught smoking,
I also remember the time when she changed her lock,
she got fed up with me always borrowing her shoes,
and yes, I'll admit to borrowing the odd party frock.
And I also wanted to Happy 80th Birthday,
I guess that's really what these words are for,
here's to you, (NAME), grandmother, you're truly wonderful,
and here's to at least another eighty more!
Because I've tried to take very good care of you,
and in return, you've taken very good care of me,
just know that I am totally devoted to you,
you've made my world a great place to be.
However, it wasn't shining so brightly on your birthday,
if I recall (you won't remember), you were twenty one,
so wasted, you had to be carried up the stairs by a friend,
that night, certainly, your drinking days were done.
I think of our honeymoon and I always grin,
in truth, a great big smile breaks across my face,
5 days, you, glorious weather, whale watching, seafood,
you see, you've made my world such a wonderful place.
