"A BIRTHDAY TEARDROP"

So meaningful is one little teardrop

Yet so much love it can unfold

I know because I have one

Embedded deep within my soul

It can represent overflowing passion

Of acquired desires and dreams

But it always tells a story

Of feelings coming forth in streams

Sometimes it's a joy filled teardrop

Other times it may represents pain

Yet both come from a heart of caring

For the one I have not loved in vain

Today it's a Birthday teardrop

On this number seventy-two

May your day be filled with happiness

And the desires of your heart come true

I love you with all my being

Always will as time marches on

Words cannot express my feeling

But this one little teardrop is for you.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEETHEART…

Written on your seventy-second birthday

    by the one you call "James", age 75
