"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
