Happy Birthday Slayer xx

To a special friend, wishing you the best of birthdays on Saturday 31st December, hope it’s the start of a special New Year for you, with all my love xx xx

A friendship such as yours is worth more than precious gems

In comparison, a diamond’s lustre fades

All the priceless jewellery in the world cannot compare

You’re a treasure, in life’s showcase, on display

Within this very industry, involved your working life

Lecturing, you teach Gemmology

Your enthusiasm for your work keeps on shining through

Your extensive knowledge there for all to see

You spend many hours, as a work-a-holic will

Your love of life reflected in your smile

Though you’ve suffered your fair share of anguish in the past

Now you walk along the golden mile

Compulsively positive, attractive and witty

More tolerant than anyone I know

Your forgiving nature is an asset to behold

You radiate a charming warmth and glow

The words within this verse, my friend, have been composed for you

Expressed in rhyme these words I’d like to say

And that is… Happy Birthday to a very special friend

May the Lord bless you everyday I pray

HAPPY BIRTHDAY YOU OLD CODGER :wink: :D/ :D/ :D
