Upon this day, my age has come around,

My numbered years upon the calendar are found.

Yet from the seasons I have known before,

This current moment opens up a brighter door.

This year, my dear, I find you by my side;

I scarcely know when last I felt such pride,

To hail my birth, with joy without compare,

But you are here, a gift beyond all prayer.

My tongue is tied, I cannot speak the bliss,

Nor can my eyes convey the happiness of this,

For such a gift, so tender and so new,

I truly think was never done—save now, by you.

May you discern the value you possess,

And know my love, a bond I must confess.

My gratitude for you will never cease;

This perfect day shall ever live in peace.

I pray you know the worth I find in you,

I pray you know my love is strong and true,

I pray you feel how deep my thanks extend,

This memory, my love, will never end.

This is the first time our two paths align,

To share my birthday, and to honor yours in kind.

The day will come when you will stay for good,

No count of leaving ever understood.

That destined hour, my heart will wait to see,

When every joy is shared by you and me.

I love you, my life's anchor, my true love,

And I appreciate the gift you are, sent from above.
