Have you ever met someone you are always comfortable around, <br />Whether he is roaring with laughter or not uttering a single sound… <br />Someone who asks how you are, and remembers what you say; <br />Then wants to know more about what you mentioned a previous day? <br /> <br />Someone who inquires about your family and you know that he cares, <br />In spite of his many friends and all those important business affairs. <br />More interested in hearing of your life than talking about his own; <br />He is, indeed, one of the rarest people I have ever known. <br /> <br />I am honored to be among one of your friends, <br />And today each of us assembled from deep in our heart sends <br />The warmest of Happy Birthdays filled with love and cheer. <br />We are proud to have a friend like you and grateful to be here!<br /><br />Gregory Huyette<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-rare-happy-birthday/
