On my birthday morning....


I see trees of gold,


Birthday roses too!
I see books I love
in our house for two
and I think to myself...
What a wonderful world!


I see mem'ries we've made
On shelves all around


The places we've been
the friends that we've found


And I think to myself...
What a wonderful world!


The color of the leaves,
so pretty 'round each bend...


And my coffee made warmer
thanks to the gift of a friend!


I've got friends, far and near,
Saying, "Happy Birthday to you!"


Could Google be saying
"I love you??"


I hear babies cry,
I watch them grow,
They'll learn much more
than I'll ever know.
And I think to myself,
What a wonderful world...

Oh yeah
{as I turn fifty-three}
I think to myself,
What a wonderful world!!


So happy to be linking up with Kathy 
and the wonderful
gang!
{apologies to Mr. Armstrong for my edits!}

  5. " Many happy returns of the day of thy birth,
    May sunshine and gladness be given;
    And may the dear Father prepare thee on earth
    For a beautiful birthday in heaven."
