Brett’s Big Birthday Bash

Brett threw himself a party

Since he hit the big 4-0

And there never was a question if

We would or wouldn’t go.


He planned it with his mother’s help

And catered in the food, 

With jars of flowers on the tables

For a festive mood.


A slide show played with photos

Showing years of happy pics

As the guests all met and mingled,

Quite a varied friendly mix.


Several people took the stage to speak

And what stood out to me

Was what every tribute mentioned,

Not just generosity,


But the many ways that Brett has shown

To family and friends,

So much caring and affection,

Which, once started, never ends.


The party was delightful

And all gathered there for Brett

Surely’d join me in the hope this was

His favorite birthday yet.


(Brett, like my daughter, his girlfriend, 

has “special needs.”)
