In five decades' dance beneath the sun, Matthew's journey, a wondrous run. A cherished husband, steadfast and bright, With a heart that turns dark to light. To Florence and Emily, he brings delight, A fun dad whose laughter takes them to flight. In life's little chores, he finds grace, Bins out with rhythm, a tireless pace. Masterful chef, at the stove he creates, Feasts shared with love on platters and plates. Sander of floors, with patient hands, He crafts a home where warmth expands. Here's to Matthew, a life well-blessed, A golden chapter among life's best. May the years ahead, like a gentle breeze, Bring joy and love with effortless ease.
