FLOWERS It's been 60 years since you joined hands Devoted for all that time So today I propose a toast to you Everybody, please raise your glass of wine. Loving, doting grandparents Very special friends Stern but wise mother, father Two finely cut precious gems. When in the company of special folk It's hard to know what to say So with these simple, humble words Let me put it in this way... You planted the seed to my family tree Watered it with love And as the flowers came to bloom God blessed it from above. From that tree came many seeds Some dropped near its roots While other were carried by the winds To lands of exotic fruits. Yet through your nurture and that tree's great genes Those flowers honour you So I present this bouquet as a gift The very least I can do. Each flower is a symbol Of the seeds that you have sewn Such splendour and variety Without you could never be known. And as that tree continues to grow May the trunk stay proud and strong For even after so many years The honeymoon still goes on. |
