that marks a celebration

You are an old wise cracker
as you would often say
getting into trouble
is how you liked to play.
You keep with you a childlike
twinkle deep within your heart.
And throughout the ages
you’ve turned the pages
and made attitude an art!
Happy 80th Birthday!
21
I hope to be as youthful
as you look today
to be as enthusiastic
on my 80th birthday.
You make it look so easy
to live through all those days.
It must be all the love you’ve got
for a tendency to play!
Happy 80th Birthday!
22
For someone as wonderful as you,
it seems only reasonable
that the years roll on heedlessly
and let you continue
to be the lovely soul you are
to your full capacity.
The years have not dampened your spirits
nor slowed your wit and joy
and I doubt they ever will.
Happy 80th birthday.
23
Eighty years of wisdom
and still going strong.
Still learning, still teaching,
still singing songs,
still helping wherever you can,
and I am proud to call you family.
24
The world has changed since you were young.
From transport to technology,
to social change and theology,
it’s been a whirlwind of change
and revolution.
And you’ve taken it in stride
somehow kept up with the times,
Not everyone can adapt so well.
Happy 80th birthday!
25
You’ve seen so much of life now
I can’t even imagine
All the wisdom you have, that you’ve gained
To be honest, I’m jealous
Eighty years have gone by for you
Happy Birthday today, well you know what to do
26
Eighty years
I wonder how fast they’ve gone?
For me it seems like forever
But then again, I’m young
Today’s another birthday
And I hope you have fun
Today it’s all about you,
Because you’re the one!
We appreciate you today
Happy Birthday
27
Eighty years, now doesn’t that seem crazy?
When it feels like yesterday, that you were a young lady?
Everyone is so proud of all you’ve done
Today it’s time to celebrate you, that means you’re the one
We’ll sing you a song and eat some cake
We all love you, that’s not something to fake!
Happy Birthday!
28
Let all of the people
Both far and near
Celebrate that your
Eightieth birthday is here
A time to honor
And a time to reflect
All that you have done
To earn our respect

After eighty great years
Upon this fine Earth
Let us all gather
To rejoice in your birth
And the life you have lived
Full of love and of laughter
For your accomplishments now
And all that you’ll do after
30
Eighty years young
Is a life to be praised
You’re a true inspiration
Who makes us amazed
With all that you’ve done
And all that you do
We can’t wait for more
Birthdays to gather with you

Wow, you’ve made it, you’re finally eighty!
Who knew you could do it and still look so gravy!
So let’s celebrate, and get a little bit crazy
All of these girls are smiley and wavy
So let’s pop some bottles, and Viagra (maybe?)
32
You’re finally here, you’re over the hill
So do as you want and say as you will
You’ve earned your spot endless in time
And do need reason and don’t need rhyme
Because you’re eighty
And it’s your birthday,
So let’s get crazy
33
Happy birthday to my grandpa!
Who knew that eighty could look so handsome?
I remember as a kid holding your denchers for ransom
And now you wear them to speak to your grandson
Happy birthday, have some cake and then some
