To Norman for his birthday
The morning has dawned cool;
And the Nebraska sky is blue.
I am feeling grateful for another day with you.
The clouds on the horizon
Look like mountains way far off.
I don’t mention that to you for fear that you might scoff.
I know the snow-capped Rockies
Are still quite far away.
We have to keep on driving until the end of day.
We’re not getting any younger;
Your birthday comes so soon.
But when you take me in your arms I still can feel a swoon.
If I could paint the future
Like an artist paints the shore
I’d picture us together for years and years and more.
Let’s walk together, hand in hand,
Giving thanks to God above
For all the years that we have shared this perfect gift of love.
