Fifty years is really not enough In which to plumb the depths of someone's soul. Fifty more years, then, should be the goal: To know the beauty of another's love, Yearnings shape, and life-long shadows buff. Yet life was never easy in those years. Everest is sometimes hard to climb. A will to love has brought you to this time, Rich in joys that time cannot remove. So may this day be filled with happy tears!
