Eddie’s Birthday

I remember when you were twenty six
that fall of seventy nine.
You looked at me through youthful eyes.
I never thought you’d be mine.

You were younger, far from my age
and our songs had not become one.
Now we look back on these forty six years
like our love has just begun.

Happy birthday, love of my life,
you’re turning seventy two.
We’re the perfect love story so they say
and we know their words ring true.

I love you with  all of my heart, Sweetheart

Your Sweetheart, Janet B. Parker
