Collected thoughts from previous years inside my head, no words to say Ever to be so loved and thoughtful things given with care Warmth and humbleness show through my actions of response How can this 19th May be so very different from others? Channelled emotion comes close to the surface as my eyes well with tears It’s a boyhood wonder appearing - as if I was that special? Slowly I remove the perfect wrapping and gaze with wide eyes Equally I am unable to speak As the card says, ‘always your Jan’ it means just that Many times my heart has wished for this At last the dream is reality and not just for now but forever Too much for one day Each little present a token of love wrapped in a heartfelt manner Birthdays are special but no-one is this lucky are they? As the paper lets go of its secret, we kiss Just thank you but not just thank you, love you and fabulous!! My heart is as big as my body as it struggles to stay inside my skin That lump in the throat won’t go away and the eye thing still threatens Deep breaths as I give up my thanks to the cosmos for my wonderful Jan She knows me so well, we love so much.

Birthday morning
Collected thoughts from previous years inside my head, no words to say Ever to be so loved and thoughtful things given with care Warmth and humbleness show through my actions of response How can this 19th May be so very different from others? Channelled emotion comes close to the surface as my eyes well with tears It’s a boyhood wonder appearing - as if I was that special? Slowly I remove the perfect wrapping and gaze with wide eyes Equally I am unable to speak As the card says, ‘always your Jan’ it means just that Many times my heart has wished for this At last the dream is reality and not just for now but forever Too much for one day Each little present a token of love wrapped in a heartfelt manner Birthdays are special but no-one is this lucky are they? As the paper lets go of its secret, we kiss Just thank you but not just thank you, love you and fabulous!! My heart is as big as my body as it struggles to stay inside my skin That lump in the throat won’t go away and the eye thing still threatens Deep breaths as I give up my thanks to the cosmos for my wonderful Jan She knows me so well, we love so much.
