My love, happy birthday -

this day means more than words can say,

for on this very day,

God chose to send you my way.

A blessing wrapped in grace and light,

you make every wrong feel right.

The best at heart, in all you do -

the world's a kinder place with you.

Best wife, best daughter, daughter-in-law too,

best sister - there's nothing you can't do.

My best friend, my calm, my guide,

my therapist, my life - my pride.

So today, I pray and truly mean,

may all your dreams paint life serene.

You deserve the brightest, the grandest part -

for you are the queen of every heart.

I love you past the moon's embrace,

beyond each planet's endless space -

to Jupiter, stars, and back to start...

Happy birthday, keeper of my heart. (sic)"
