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.
Actually, (NAME) (BRIDES) husband) has been a rock too,
and they both just love, ++++, (my new boyfriend),
and I just wanted to say thank you to you both,
but there's a bit more (before these lines come to their end).
And we just wanted to say Happy New Mother's Day,
I guess that's really what these words are for,
here's to you, (NAME), Mom, you're truly wonderful,
and here's to our everlasting love, for evermore.
I'm so looking forward to the adventures ahead,
and to our future stories, as yet unwritten and untold,
new careers, new homes and one day, children,
so it's with you, I'm looking forward to getting really old.
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.
(NAME) is the greatest Aunt anyone could ask for,
every time they come over, (NAME) has something new,
and to the new couple, I say "I love you both",
(and I'm very proud of what you do).
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.
I'll never forget our trip to New Orleans on labor day weekend,
if you recall, I was very keen to keep holding your hand,
how we were supposed to know it was the Gay Mardi Gras?
We've nothing against them (but it wasn't as we'd planned).
But I guess we'd better move to New Jersey first,
and that's where (NAME) and (NAME) decided to land,
and we have so many wonderful, happy memories,
but I'm sure that this is something that you'll understand.
Our first year was a rough one,
you would certainly never call it red letter,
but this, gladly, is a whole new year,
and yes, it's going to get a whole lot better.
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!
So let us look forward to the new and good,
I am serious about us, for now and forever,
I forgive all the wrongs and I want us to change,
I want us to be better and in more ways than one, be together
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,
you are the one that makes me completely whole.
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.
I remember the time she woke me up by yelling,
she knew that a lay in bed was something that I would like,
she was screaming at me to get my stuff off the porch,
but when I got there, there was my brand new birthday bike.
Lies, lies and more lies,
it's a diet that quickly wears you thin,
and then before you know it, the world's destroyed,
with no new chances to start, nowhere to begin.
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.
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,
you are the one that makes me completely whole.
Now it's been said that (NAME) likes his food,
and if it was an Olympic sport, he'd win the 'eat,
but of all the husbands on this planet,
I know I'm lucky (because mine just can't be beat).
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.
Because I know you felt betrayed by those you trusted,
but now I am glad, you've finally awoke from that haze,
and I know you're enjoying your many new projects,
so I foresee, for us, only the happiest of days.
I know someone also remembers playing "butts up" with Grandma,
it's the sort of thing you do when you're in the 6th grade,
but Grandma never acted her age, friends thought she was so cool,
and I know she liked the new friends that she'd made.
But despite all that, we fell madly in love,
and on New Year's Eve I happily said "yes",
fireworks, sleet, a masked ball, dancing,
how could I say "no" to a lifetime of happiness?
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.
So, please raise your glasses,
and find a new circle of friends,
because if you're not that careful,
the gutter is where your journey ends.
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.
