| Merci (thank-you note for gifts received on 22nd birthday) With the 21st now in the past, And one less birthday before the last, I found your card inside the mail, And quickly did my heart take sail. For few are quite as lucky as I, To have such relatives who verify That the bonds of family are never passe', And send yearly a gift for my birthday. With much thanks for your magnanimousness, And with hopes for future such benefice, My birthday wish to bless you and me: May this tradition continue to 120. |
