A blessing wrapped in grace and light, You make every wrong feel right. The best at heart, in all you do — The world’s a kinder place with you. Best wife, best daughter, daughter-in-law too, Best sister — there’s nothing you can’t do. My best friend, my calm, my guide, my therapist, my life — my pride. So today, I pray and truly mean, May all your dreams paint life serene. You deserve the brightest, the grandest part — For you are the queen of every heart. I love you past the moon’s embrace, beyond each planet’s endless space — to Jupiter, stars, and back to start… Happy birthday, keeper of my heart. (sic)”
