I sigh when I think of all that you have allowed me to do
From hiking to swimming in the lakes
To riding the waves in the sea and to seeing the flowers each spring
I have been able to create a living and meet many a friend
I thank you for the kindness that enabled me to
Have days of joy and friendship
And what a wonderful life that you have given me
Gratitude for Family and Marriage
I love my children and grandchildren
They give me joy when we are together
And I thank you for my wife and the years that we have spent together
For all of this, I am forever grateful
So be it
