Friendship

Happy Birthday, my brother from another mother.❤️

Seventy-five years of sunshine and shade,
A beautiful tapestry, carefully made.
Through decades of laughter and miles of the road,
You’ve lightened the spirit and carried the load.

We’ve collected our stories like stones on the shore,
Every one precious, and always one more.
From the bloom of our youth to this golden-hued day,
You’ve walked by my side in your own steady way.

Seventy-five rings on the heart of the tree,
Stronger and wiser for all turned to see.
You aren’t just a friend who has stood through the test,
You’re the keeper of memories, the one I love best.

So may this new chapter be gentle and bright,
Filled with soft mornings and stars in the night.
Happy Birthday, dear friend—may you feel all the glee,
Of a life lived in love, shared by you and by me.
