You seemed to find the perfect timing,
To enter thoughtfully my life.
You were to me the lucky finding,
Which guided me through day and night.
You carved me like your own sculpture,
From mixing in your highest culture.
You have indeed become my home,
The largest family, I owe
A lot of gratitude and duty
For all your listening, for all your beauty,
For all those though and simple steps.
While looking at your tower cross,
I wish I knew those future depths,
Which you will help me walk across.


Happy birthday my dear
