For

our
way
Happy
birthday,
my
love
July
the
thirtieth,
the
day
you
arrived
With
a
heart
so
golden,
so
truly
alive
I
look
at
your
smile
and
I
see
the
grace
Of
God
shining
down
on
your
honest
face
Ba
Freeman,
the
father,
the
strength
of
the
home
No
matter
how
far
or
how
wide
you
may
roam
From
the
rainy
seasons
to
the
summer
heat
You’
re
the
rhythmic
pulse
that
makes
life
complete
Oh,

May
the
blessings
of
heaven
never
depart

Happy

May

I
see
you
working
through
the
cold
and
the
grey
Clocking
twelve
hours
at
the
end
of
the
day
Night
shifts
in
silence,
sacrificing
your
rest
To
ensure
that
your
family
is
truly
the
best
Through
the
sweat
and
the
labor,
the
path
that
you
tread
You
keep
us
all
sheltered,
you
keep
us
all
fed
It’
s
a
selfless
devotion,
a
love
so
profound
In
the
heart
of
my
husband,
true
virtue
is
found
Oh,
happy

to
the
man
after
my
heart
May
the
blessings
of
heaven
never
depart

shadow
and
fear

every
season,
through
every
trial

in
the
beauty
of
your
weary
smile (

all
