This morning I woke up to find that my husband,in addition to giving me some wonderful gifts, had written me a poem for my birthday. I have his permission to post it here. And I just want to add that while I love all the presents he showers on me, it is his presence in my life that I love best.

Jerry's Poem

GOOD MORNING, LOVE. YOU ARE NOT GETTING OLDER JUST BETTER....

You make me laugh; you make me cry...
But I will never question why I fell in love with you.
Your smiles are bright; your eyes just shine.
I go to bed each night knowing that you are mine.

Your laughter fills the air each day; your wisdom helps me find the way.
That's why I love you more and more each day.
Esther, you are my pride and joy.
I love you.
