He will gladly write &lt;a href="http://www.agiftofpoetry.com/birthday-poems"&gt;birthday poems&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.agiftofpoetry.com/unique/examples/examples.htm"&gt;anniversary poems&lt;/a&gt;, birth poems and can even help you write &lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.squidoo.com/365reasonswhyiloveyou"&gt;365 reasons why I love you&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is an example of just one of the &lt;a href="http://www.agiftofpoetry.com/birthday-poems/birthday-poems"&gt;birthday poems&lt;/a&gt; Allen Jesson has written for a customer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Author : Allen Jesson&lt;br /&gt;Title: A True Jewel&lt;br /&gt;Description: To a very trustworthy, dependable, smart lady on her birthday from her children who have nothing but praise for this wonderful person.&lt;br /&gt;A True Jewel&lt;br /&gt;Ladies and gentlemen,&lt;br /&gt;can I have your attention please?&lt;br /&gt;Every now and then in life,&lt;br /&gt;there's opportunity you should seize.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Because days, weeks, months happen,&lt;br /&gt;and the years they can go so fast,&lt;br /&gt;and words that should get said,&lt;br /&gt;don't - and if they do they never last.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I'm going to change all that,&lt;br /&gt;change it right here and right now,&lt;br /&gt;I hope the right words come along,&lt;br /&gt;I'll give it my best shot - anyhow.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And please forgive my nervousness,&lt;br /&gt;public speaking doesn't come naturally to me,&lt;br /&gt;so please forgive any mistakes that I make,&lt;br /&gt;you may have to listen quite patiently.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, we're all gathered here today,&lt;br /&gt;to honor a very special lady who's centre stage,&lt;br /&gt;a lady whose integrity is unquestionable,&lt;br /&gt;and who has the wisdom of someone twice her age.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mom is actually quite the silent type,&lt;br /&gt;so there maybe a few things that you don't know,&lt;br /&gt;it's time for me to "spill a few beans",&lt;br /&gt;and then, like Jack, we'll just watch them grow and grow.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She was reared on a ranch in Tres Piedras,&lt;br /&gt;raising cattle, horses and her pet lamb&lt;br /&gt;She even worked in the family's store,&lt;br /&gt;pumping gas, selling candy and strawberry jam!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She was moved up two years in school,&lt;br /&gt;and still graduated Valedictorian of McCurdy High,&lt;br /&gt;she played on the volleyball and basketball teams,&lt;br /&gt;I guess that's probably where she learnt to fly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She was voted one of the High School Court Princesses,&lt;br /&gt;and was offered a full scholarship to New Mexico Tech,&lt;br /&gt;and her first job was working for Pete Domenici,&lt;br /&gt;way before he started his very own star trek.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mom began working as a legal secretary,&lt;br /&gt;she really loved the legal field,&lt;br /&gt;now Mom enjoys wood-working with Dad,&lt;br /&gt;hiking, gardening, cooking and the occasional read.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Midway through her career,&lt;br /&gt;she earned her paralegal degree,&lt;br /&gt;off to the Public Defender's Office she went,&lt;br /&gt;defending criminals was obviously her cup of tea !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Defender's office was small when she started,&lt;br /&gt;number of employees, including herself, totaled six,&lt;br /&gt;and as crime grew, so did their office,&lt;br /&gt;I think now there's 49 people - a fine and splendid mix.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mom earned the Administrative Officer position,&lt;br /&gt;overseeing all the activities for the last 24 years,&lt;br /&gt;Mom held the fort through all the moves and changes,&lt;br /&gt;through the stress, the laughter (and the tears).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think she's really been the rock,&lt;br /&gt;the glue that's held it all together,&lt;br /&gt;and I know that I'm proud of her,&lt;br /&gt;and I know that I'll love her forever and ever.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She is so very dependable,&lt;br /&gt;and she's smart, smart and very smart,&lt;br /&gt;she's earned respect from her peers and bosses,&lt;br /&gt;she's made working into a work of art !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can trust Mom with your deepest secret,&lt;br /&gt;and you know that her lips will remain tightly sealed,&lt;br /&gt;she's the person to go to when you need help,&lt;br /&gt;and you know that your problems will never be revealed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She can be given any job,&lt;br /&gt;no matter how big or small,&lt;br /&gt;and she'll handle it with absolute perfection,&lt;br /&gt;she's a wealth of information - a true jewel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Though her work week was hectic,&lt;br /&gt;she always made time for us and Dad,&lt;br /&gt;helping remodel and build our home,&lt;br /&gt;I think she's the finest mother any daughter's ever had.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And most people wind down in their retirement,&lt;br /&gt;but Mom chose to be involved with FAST Four instead,&lt;br /&gt;stressful, rewarding and a challenge,&lt;br /&gt;she's trod where lesser mortals would have feared to tread.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She'll miss her stress relief lunch hour,&lt;br /&gt;and I know she'll miss the day to day grind,&lt;br /&gt;and their favorite restaurants will miss them all,&lt;br /&gt;Yolanda, Belinda and Mom - three of a kind.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And Slim Fast will now go out of business,&lt;br /&gt;there'll be no more of their drinking spurts,&lt;br /&gt;because this is the end of an era,&lt;br /&gt;and I guess that's what probably hurts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But Mom's tenure has been an impressive one,&lt;br /&gt;and she's set a fine example on the home front as well,&lt;br /&gt;and I'm so very, very proud of her,&lt;br /&gt;I hope by now, you can surely tell.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And we're looking forward to spending more time with you,&lt;br /&gt;now that you've finally found the time to retire,&lt;br /&gt;and I'm sure you'll go on to achieve great things,&lt;br /&gt;knowing you - you'll lift the bar a little higher.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And finally, watch out Dad !&lt;br /&gt;I think your retirement days are done,&lt;br /&gt;look out for the huge honey-do list,&lt;br /&gt;Albert, quick, you've still got a chance to run!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But seriously folks,&lt;br /&gt;Mom has been an inspiration to us all,&lt;br /&gt;she has raised us, she's lifted us,&lt;br /&gt;in fact, standing here I feel about ten feet tall.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I'd like to say thanks, Mom,&lt;br /&gt;and I know occasionally I can be the nut,&lt;br /&gt;but I wouldn't be who I am today without you,&lt;br /&gt;and I know, in my heart, that's a pretty big but.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Because you truly have been "a true jewel",&lt;br /&gt;and your love for us has brightly shone,&lt;br /&gt;and may your days last forever,&lt;br /&gt;may your health and happiness keep shining on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;copyright Allen Jesson 2008&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you would like Allen Jesson to write &lt;a href="http://www.agiftofpoetry.com/birthday-poems/birthday-poems"&gt;birthday poems&lt;/a&gt; for you then please visit &lt;a href="http://www.agiftofpoetry.com/"&gt;A Gift Of Poetry&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8951588760368617176-5439398177604905960?l=birthday-poems-4u.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://birthday-poems-4u.blogspot.com/feeds/5439398177604905960/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8951588760368617176&amp;postID=5439398177604905960' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8951588760368617176/posts/default/5439398177604905960'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8951588760368617176/posts/default/5439398177604905960'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://birthday-poems-4u.blogspot.com/2008/11/birthday-poems.html' title='Birthday Poems'/><author><name>365 reason why i love you</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14896303606093735828</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry></feed>
