56 years really isn't that old;
You aren't even wrinkley or starting to mold.
Yet 56 years really isn't that young;
You've lived a lot, learned a lot, and had tons of fun!
So if 56 years isn't old, isn't young
What is it that your 56 years have brung?
(excuse my poor English!)
Smiles and laughter to your mom and dad,
and a buddy for your brother, I bet he was glad.
Love to dear Mama, for sure you're her knight.
Happiness and direction to your children, a constant delight.
Stability to your coworkers, support to your friends
Phone calls and service that never seems to end.
Strength to the Church, inspiration through your talks
Guidance for all towards the right path to walk.
Traveling the Nation from coast to coast,
Several hundred thousand miles driven, that's something to boast!
Papa Camps galore with all 20 grandchildren (almost 22)
And Donut Dudes and Darlings on special occassion.
You know how to live and enjoy what you've got
And frankly, from the looks of it, you've got quite a lot.
So here's to you on this special day
We love you and know that you feel the same way!
