Happy Birthday Peter

It stated in September

The dance floor, of all places…

You were movin, you were grovin,

And you weren’t making’ faces

“Love Story” was in the theatre

But we were busy making our own

Two hearts became like one

In Sea Isle under the sun

How I loved your family

The icing on the cake,

I fell hook, line and sinker

A DiLullo on the make!

Our wedding was quite humble

Often, less is more…

We were thrilled to be together,

It didn’t matter we were poor.

Suddenly we were pregnant

Childbirth classes ensured,

Along came sweet Melissa,

Peter and Becca joined us, too!

The busy year of family life

Were the focus of our days

Loving, laughing, growing

Sometimes we were quite crazed!

But you faithfully worked harder,

And did all you could at home,

You balanced it all, but always returned

Happy to no longer roam.

We’ve skied and fished and sun-bathed,

We’ve worshiped and endured,

Not a day goes by we’re not aware

Of the generosity of our Lord

And now He’s added more to our lives

With Nate and Lex and Rich,

The beauty of family multiplied

Not one of you we’d switch.

But wait, and now there’s grandchildren

God’s blessing for His name’s sake

His promises are for each generation,

Now there’s Luke, Jules, Sammy and Jake!

Two really do become like one,

Tho sometimes tempers flare

But You remain my hero

With a heart that’s beautiful and rare.

So I celebrate you and love you so,

If I should fall behind, wait for me

Come grow old along with me,

That’s how God planned it to be
