Some try so hard to do their best,
some others just give in;
It's up to you to make the choice,
to fall or fight to win!

We all have stumbled down at times,
crushed loved ones in our wake;
They all deserve a better man,
your life, the prize at stake!

There's family, friends and loved ones 'round,
who'd die for you today;
For once to see you turn around,
to head the other way!

They love their friend, their son or dad,
they want what's best for you;
To step it up, to beat the odds,
as only YOU can do!

Don't put it off, not one more day,
to show them who you are;
Just fight to win the war ahead,
keep reaching for the stars!

Now live each moment like your last,
tomorrow may not come;
Yet dream a dream so big for now
to conquer number One!

In love I feel I've struck it rich,
I finally staked my claim,
I chipped away at hardened heart
to strike the richest vein!

I felt I'd never hit it big,
I'd nearly given in;
I felt I'd never find the one,
my heart would never win!

Then one sweet day you waltzed right in,
was so far from prepared
I had to look not once but twice
to see you standing there!

I said, "I think you might be lost",
you said, "I know my way!";
I knew right then I'd hit my mark,
I fell in love that day!

You showed me love I'd never known
I soon had lost control.
I gambled big, my heart at stake
but love was on a roll!

I took the chance and placed the bet,
I shoved my whole stack in;
I flopped a flush right from the start,
And hearts had won again!

So as you see, it all paid off,
although I had to dig.
With you I'm now the richest man,
in love, I'm winning BIG!

It hasn't been so long ago
since falling for my first real love.
I find the more the years pass by
she's just the one I'm thinking of!

She strolled into my life one day;
when first I saw her gorgeous face,
My blood ran hot within my veins,
my heart and mind began to race!

It seems like just the other day,
I felt I found my Heavenly bliss;
Those gorgeous lips pressed firm to mine
She'd stole my heart with just one kiss!

I never knew a man could feel
such pure desire for anything;
I knew right then she'd soon be mine
with wedding vows and diamond rings!

As life began to take it's toll,
so young and blind we were back then;
We grew apart, went separate ways-
now looking for my Love again!

I know she's out there somewhere now,
I hope to find her some sweet day,
I long to find that one I loved
to show her love without delay!

So listen closely, now my Dear,
If once you read these words I write;
I'm trying to find you once again
to NEVER more give up the fight!

There are days and moments now and then
without you with me here,
It feels that I may fold or break
from weight I cannot bear!

It's all because I miss your touch,
to feel you close to me;
'Cause when I hold you in these arms
it helps my heart break free!

There's never been a man on earth
to love a woman so,
I never dreamed I'd be the one-
till you I came to know!

You've shown me what true love's about,
you gave my heart a jolt;
Since everyday you've stood by me-
a statue strong and bold!

I may not be there physically,
yet never far away;
You're always in my heart and mind,
I dream of you all day!

It's only but a moment now,
though now's not soon enough;
'Til once again you'll feel my touch
and feel it's YOU I love!

I promise you from this day on
I'll hold you ever near!
I promise you I'll fight for you,
my love for you I'll swear!

Thank God for all He gives us,
those blessings from above.
Although each one are different,
all bundles full of love!

Each perfect little finger
on such a tiny hand,
A sign of His perfection-
to us a mortal man.

When giggling with such laughter
brings joy to our hearts
We love each little moment
right from the very start!

He knows you'll do your best now
you've proved yourself so true,
Five precious little younguns
to learn the best from you!

These words I write for you,
I hope you will enjoy;
I'm so happy for the birth
of your precious Baby Boy!

You've made it known you love me so,
with love that's more than true;
The sun that lights my everyday,
come cloudy skies or blue!

You've stood by me through all my life,
through sorrow, pain and strife;
When trials came you stood your ground
the Anchor in my life!

You've made me smile in saddest times,
through stormy skies for years;
Your breath such hope when hard times come,
my rainbow through the tears!

You've fought by me through all life's wars,
not once gave up the fight;
The strongest girl I'll ever know,
my star that shines so bright!

But most of all you broke these binds,
right from the very start;
You softened me with tender touch,
the Love that stole my heart!

My mind won't stop, my heartbeat fast
just heard your voice again.
Regrets I have of times gone past
for all what might have been!

For 30 years we've been best friends
grow stronger day by day
I realized quick you'd stand by me
and be right there to stay!

You've shown me how to love someone
with actions and your deeds.
You've always stooped to help me up
at times I'd been in need!

Oh yes, you've made it ******* me,
to find someone like you-
See what I mean, I'm still alone
can't find someone so true!

So as we both turn 39
I hope you'll think on this
I never dreamed we'd be this close,
full 30 years of bliss!

I know I failed, yes missed my mark,
to make you my own girl;
Yet though I did, you'll always be
my one best friend, My precious pearl!
