Dear Brother and Sister Lines,
We've met with you many times;
But never with such pure delight
AS we greet you here tonight.
A few hours we hope to brighten
For you through your walk through life
And we would little tighten
The cares Of husband and of wife.
May many birthdays come to YOU
Bringing friends, both good and true.
United by the golden bond
Formed by friendships magic wand.
Though Father Time may whiten the
hair,
And on the face write lines of care,
And cen leave footprints of despair
On faces that were once so fair.
We know that we can always trace
On Sister Lines blooming face
The love and charity ever there,
No matter what she has to bear.
When darkest clouds may DER her
