True Love

Dear Friend,

It has been a long journey until today.

365 days, 12 months, or 52 weeks make up a year.

You moved swiftly through everything.

Without even pausing for a break.

At six in the morning you got up for work,

you rode your ancient bicycle,

60 minutes in spite of the weather.

You gave your service for eight hours without ever grumbling.

Nothing was too much or too difficult for you to support your coworkers when they needed it.

Then you rode your bike home and assisted your neighbors;

you never complained here either.

You always have a smile on your face and a friendly saying on your lips,

and you never said anything negative.

We are honored to call you a friend.

Today, on your day of honor, we want to honor you,

you, a hero no one sees,

a man of honour no one knows,

a FRIEND you don't see enough of.

We wish you good health and all the pleasure in the world.

We wish you a long and prosperous life.

We hope to be friends with you forever.

You are everything to us.

You are the rock in the surf,

the straw we cling to when we're lost,

the source of knowledge when we have questions,

and the place where we may rest.

Without you, there would be no us,

and without you, life would be meaningless.

Happy birthday, sweetheart.
