Seventy years of wisdom and grace,
Of grandkids, memories and cheer,
May joy shine always on your face
And bless you more with every year!

Of work and faith and love so true,
May you stay healthy, wise and strong
And may each day feel fresh and new!

Flowers for a 70th birthday

Older birthday celebrants appreciate bouquets that are expressive but not too large: hydrangea, spray roses and boxed arrangements that need no vase. A flower box is also convenient for those who find large bouquets hard to hold.
