Dearest Michael,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY! May God bless you, keep you safe and well, and prosper you in all your ways.
I love you more than words can say.

I've written a poem for you:
Michael’s Fiftieth Birthday
Fifty years you’ve lived your life
Held the dream and borne the strife
Given all you had to share
Accomplishments beyond compare
Music is your art of choice
To touch the world with crystal voice
To soothe or dare with wit and rhyme
Such melodies as outlast time!
Your dance enchants the coldest heart
Stokes the flame and lights the spark
While women swoon and men admire
Your movements set their souls on fire
Your beauty never fades or dims
Nor style conforms to fashion whims
You innovate in many fields
See what the unbridled spirit yields!
Compassion leads your tender heart
To deeds of goodness done apart
Where none can see the hands you hold
The sick, the suffering, lost and cold
And still you persevere despite
Outrageous slander, threat and slight
While jealous hearts try to invade
And decimate what you have made
But God protects you in His palm
Sheltering you from evil's harm
For He has called you to proclaim
Peace and harmony in His name
A world where love can heal and feed
All children despite race or creed
A loving father to your own
Three darling ones who grace your home
On this, your birthday Michael dear
I wish with all my heart, sincere
That you will know how much you're loved
On Earth below and in Heaven above
Your future lit with happy days
Creative challenge, success and praise
Good health and comfort, love's embrace
Sweet kisses on your gorgeous face
With blessings sent from God on high
Your greatest dreams to satisfy
Adorn you with the crown deserved
Five decades in His kingdom served
Dimity
