Poor me, I kept hoping thsit may-
be, just for fun
There'd be a boy, but not one.
You like ,to be busy, the two of
you
And it's seldom you're ever at
' rest,
But no matter the activity Or
work you do
We always know that home's best.
Besides keeping house, being a
good wife and mother,
A dressmaker, ga.rdener,and
friend,
Mum enjoys 4-H, Bridge Club,
Hospital Auxiliary and others,
Forgetting only the occasional
pocket to mend.
A hectic life has been Dad's lot
Being always on the go,
But despite the number of me-
etings you've got,
You enjoy it come rain or snow.
We hope that you )3oth have been
happy tonight
And that it continues throughout
the years;
With our love and good wishes,
we hope all goes right
For many more wonderful years.
Sincerely,
' your I'amily and Friends
