My Pillar of Strength

Happy 69th birthday, Papa dear,
A celebration to cherish, and memories to hold near.
You're the rock that holds me tight,
My guiding light, my shelter from life's plight.

Through childhood's laughter and teenage strife,
You've been my constant, my partner in life.
As a single mother, you've stood by me,
A pillar of strength, a love that's plain to see.

You've taken care of me and my little one too,
With love and dedication, that's forever true.
Your kindness, patience, and support, I've known,
You've taught me to be strong, to face life's unknown.

As I look back on the years gone by,
I'm filled with gratitude, and a heart that's high.
I promise to take care of myself and our little family,
Knowing you're always there, to support us lovingly.

Here's to many more years of love and laughter shared,
Of memories to cherish, and moments to spare.
I wish you a birthday as bright as your smile,
May this year bring you joy, good health, and a life worthwhile.

I love you more than words can say,
Papa, you're the best, in every single way.
Happy Birthday, and thank you for being you,
A father, a friend, a love that's forever true.
