Birthday Thoughts
Birthday comes to us once
every year,
With greetings' from friends
far and near;
And the one that we love the
most alike,
Is Mr. Hild, that we all call
Uncle Mike.
Sometimes you may not fully
understand,
Why every one, seems to be
your friend;
Each one extends to you a
birthday : wish,
Which from, their hearts will
not soon perish.
You are a father, brother, uncle
and grandpa too,
Just see how much . they all
think of you;
If they did not love you firmly
and dear!
I am sure that you would not
cee them here.
.
You may feel like .growing a
little bit old,
With silvery threads among
the gold;
But with eaqh. silvery hair
that may Appear,
Will be Cherished By you "from
year to' year.'
When yotr-were young- perhaps - .
you didnot fqel, . . . .
That friends" could be bo nice
and dear; "
It makes your life, pleasant
the most,. - -:
When among your friends," you
are a host.
When this year will fill its
noted space.
We hope another one wilL be
in it's place;
And when, the sUty-nine will
disappear;!1 ' i i't
A new one, the seventieth will
be here.
f .
On the next .year that you
will embark,
A new epoch In your life will
be a mark; .
Although a long time to you it
may seem.
Remember that life becomes
only a vanished dream.
We hope that through the new
coming years.
You will not needs to shed
many or any tears;
And when your earthly work is
accomplished.
We can all cay. Uncle Mike It
is well finished.
