The husband,
So many years they brought joys and sorrows together
due to flowering and sunny black weather
during the harvest they walked under so many flowering perfumes
they have seen and experienced many wars
yet so much peace has come over their dunes
he is the restless type, and she constantly feels at ease in her own peace
Although there are storms and hailstorms coming to the mountain top, the pop
they both often have their thumbs up
both a member of the victors’ party
on this day she wishes him the happiest day of happiness,
a very happy birthday
kneeling together submissively to the Lord
His birthday is on the 10th of Sep and today it’s the 6th of May, but I want anyway
to congratulate him and thank him for all those loveliest years together and more more years to come…………………………
thank you, humbly Sylvie-
