As I started to make your card my mind travelled back to the day we first met . You invited Dave and me to your Birthday Party – your 60th I think. I remember it was in Maria’s back garden. But, most importantly, I remember it being the beginning of a beautiful friendship ~ one that Dave valued dearly, as do I!
You are special, Mike.
Happy Birthday
Youth is not a time of life.
It is a state of mind
It is a matter of attitude
a quality of the imagination
a vigor of the emotions
a freshness and enthusiasm
for each and every day
I hope you will always have
a child-like appetite
for ‘the joy’ and ‘game of life’
Your Birthday is a wonderful
reason to celebrate
it is a welcome to another year
with a brand new, clean canvas
It is up to you to paint
the picture.
Here’s to your good health
and days filled with love and laughter
Wishing you the BEST
