As you wish for nothing special
Just an ordinary day like any other
No gathering of friends to celebrate
No wrapped presents or candles on a cake
No dessert at all but there will be cards
And messages keeping connections
Wishing you continued health and happiness
Appreciating you for who you are
There's one thing that has never changed
Across all the years and places and people
Always speaking with kindness and respect
You find a way to do the right thing
I do not forget what that means to me
How you bring out my better self
How you hold things together under duress
How you embrace our life together
And so I take this opportunity to sing your praises
To give something of myself to you
Who shares my life being the perfect companion
As my way to show my love for you
