Happy birthday my friend…
Don’t know where the last fifty years went.!

We were busy in our own way
And did not take much time for a visit or play.

When our children were small
We seemed to have more time for a call,

But in the years that followed we had little to say
Careers and work got in the way.

Christmas or a birthday card were the only sign
That things were still fine.

Other times we more or less…
Had to guess…

And when we had no clues…
We relied on “No news is good news”

But even though much time together we did not spend
You will always be my friend
