Many thanks
Sometimes somebody does something so sweet
It really sweeps you off your feet.
There are words to express how we feel,
For it’s something too big for words to reveal!
You have an extra special way about you
That makes everything you do extra special too!
That was the nicest thing to do – –
Many thanks to each one of you.
