Would a simple thank-you
suffice?
my love and gratitude, it all
encompass?
Will it seem small,
not needed even,
since our love's mutual,
a given?
But, this is not a note
to settle our score,
or to dust my hands
off a chore
I truly want to
express my delight.
You're my life; ever inspiring,
like bright day-light
Standing by me,
like a rock,
whenever life slowed
over a gridlock
You held me,
when I slipped
Nudged me ahead,
as I dithered
The sun shines brighter
gloomy days, soon wither
only because, my dear,
you're there near
No other day seemed fitter
to profess and confess
than today,
as you grow a year older
So, thank-you,
for always being there
with an ever gentle flair
May the grace of God
ever shine upon you, and
we remain blessed, thus!

What a lovely post, Uma! Wishing him a very happy birthday! My favourite lines were '...this is not a note to settle a score'. Priceless.
