Thirty four years ago
You first opened your eyes
Wrapped in a warm blanket
You were your parents prize

Took a big chance
And tackled life alone
Father disagreed
Because of that you have grown

Slow but sure
You proved them wrong
I believe in your dreams
I know you are strong

A stunning woman today
Such a beautiful heart
Delicate to the touch
But oh so smart

So on this day of yours
My special gift to you
Nothing that money can buy
It’s my undying love that’s true
