Now it seems that very shortly
Your 50th year you'll celebrate.
Hope you have a wonderful day
On this, your special day and time.
We wish you the best in every way
And that your future will be sublime.
Since we can't be there with you
To help you "whoop it up," we say,
"We love you very much, you two
And have many more, we pray."
