75th birthday poems

Seventy-five, three quarters of a century,
Lived with love and work and care,
May joy fill every day and memory
And happiness be always there.

We thank you for each single day,
For love and wisdom, warmth and light,
May songs keep sorrow far away
And every evening end just right.
