For Linda on Your Special Day

Dear Linda, on this birthday bright,
I wish you joy and pure delight,
A day as wonderful as you—
As warm and genuine and true.

You work so hard with steady grace,
A smile that lights up every place,
Your dedication shows us all
How to stand proud and never fall.

Your love for family runs so deep,
These precious bonds we cherish, keep,
Around the table, hearts unite—
You make our gathering feel just right.

With passport ready, spirit free,
You chase horizons, land and sea,
Adventures calling out your name,
Each journey fanning wanderlust’s flame.

The gentle way you treat each creature,
Compassion is your finest feature,
From furry friends to birds that sing,
You show such love for every living thing,
except rats.

But more than all these things combined,
The greatest gift—your friendship kind,
You’ve blessed my life in countless ways,
Through laughter-filled and challenging days.

So on this birthday, know it’s true:
The world is brighter, having you,
My dear sister, my treasured friend,
May happiness be yours without end.

Here’s to you, Linda—may this year
Bring all the things you hold most dear!

With love and gratitude always ❤️
