What I Really Wanted

What I Really Wanted to Write In Your Birthday Card

My apologies for rudely barging into your life
but I just wanted to express
how much I appreciate
such a unique and beautiful spirit
Thank you for the joy you've given me.

I wish you all the happiness and fulfillment
that could possibly come
to such a human being.

- Nancy Boudreau
