for with you in my life, I feel complete,
you are the one that makes me completely whole.
She loved the Lord and shared that gift with us all,
she had a big heart and taught us all how to give,
she was always thinking of and doing for others,
in truth, I think she taught us all how to live.
Our telepathy is such a beautiful gift,
and it's one that I treasure and behold,
and I'm so looking forward to our future,
to our future stories, as yes unwritten and untold.
But you've always given us so much in our lives,
in truth, you've given the greatest gift, that's your time,
you still go to every school and sporting event,
truly, you've put the reason in every rhyme.
He can always be found at Coleman's coffee shop,
bragging about his grandchildren, some of whom are great
and he loves to tease, be playful and make you smile,

As you know, it?s our one year anniversary,
and I?ve really enjoyed our first year together,
and I?ve been struggling to get you something affordable and memorable,
a type of gift that we?ll treasure and cherish forever.
So thanks ? to the owners,
For their cash, dedication and support,
Their kind of loyalty,
Is a gift that can?t be bought.
And you're such a perfect gent, a true romantic,
your little presents always give me a such lift,
and you've told me that even when we're married,
you said that you'll still make a point of giving me a gift.
You are the greatest gift on earth,
in fact, a gift from God above,
and now I know the meaning of marriage,
and now I know the meaning of true love.
Because you have persistently and consistently loved us,
and it seems like 'you' is always the last thing on your mind,
you have this wonderful gift of being able to inspire,
and we know that's a treasure and so very hard to find.
She loved to go "commando" when shopping (inside joke),
and Misty and Snickers are her two dogs that she lived for,
she loved sports, the Boston Celtics and Larry Byrd,
she is the rock of our family (and will be for evermore).

Maybe we should have put it in our gift baskets,
but I guess we were busy enough just with the flowers,
I remember Dad helping mom and I with the deliveries,
and he'd still make us laugh (after working all hours).
And I just wanted to say ?Happy 1st Anniversary?,
There, I think that?s said it, without too much hype,
and I wanted to say thank you, I love you very much,
so there you have it, my gift of type.
Well, I think "you", are indeed, my real gift,
because I love you truly, with all my heart and soul,
for with you in my life, I feel complete,

Truly, I think you're a gift from God for (NAME) and I,
so gratefully, I will turn my eyes to the heavens above,
because I know I've been blessed to have shared you,
I know that I've been blessed with your love.
And you're such a perfect gent, a true romantic,
your little presents always give me a such lift,
and you've told me that even when we're married,
you said that you'll still make a point of giving me a gift.
You have this habit, no, like we said, it's a wonderful gift,
you have an ability to put the air under people's wings,
and a few words from you can make our hearts soar,
but that's only part of the magic that (NAME) brings.
Your gift for entertaining is legendary,
it's what legends are all about,
you bring the whole family together,
Martha Stewart had better watch out!
We'd play wiffle ball in the hot humid summers,
I'd have coffee with her every morning before going to work,
and of course, we'd shop, shop, shop (until we'd drop),
that was one job we would never shirk.
But we managed to get through that year,
and the next year you moved down the street from me,
you bought me a puppy, (NAME), for my birthday,
and truly, that was the best gift there ever will be.
I remember your beautiful speech and the chocolates,
and never has there been a more thoughtful gift,
but I just got embarrassed and then pathetically angry,
now I just realize you were trying to give me a lift.
So know that I've finally forgiven you,
(and that's a pretty good place to start),
and please accept my birthday gift of love,
some forgiving words from the heart !
She also taught me how to shop for and cook spaghetti and meatballs,
she took me to the Feather Club for dinner and dancing on my birthday,
she always knew what you needed and it was often very simple,
and that one line leaves so much left to say:
You gave me the courage to follow in your steps,
and at the end of day, that?s the greatest gift of all,
as Dad, because of you I walk taller,
in fact, I feel like I?m ten feel tall!
He marveled in the miracle of medicine,
when my twins miraculously pulled through
and he, like them, is a gift from God
and you should know that we're all very proud of you.
