"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
December 20, 2002
