Since 2008 our journey began
I was sixteen, you were eighteen then
From Temwaiku we started our way
Love grew stronger every day
So young, but love was strong and true
From that moment I chose you
Through every season, joy and pain
Our love still stands, it still remains
Verse 2
In 2008 our first joy came
Our baby Merean, we called her name
So tiny, perfect, full of light
She made our world feel so right
Then 2013 brought love again
Baikitea, our second blessing
We worked so hard, day by day
To give them love along the way
Verse 3
In 2019 our last child came
Taubenua, we called his name
Our family grew with love so strong
Together we kept moving on
We worked so hard from day to day
To meet their needs along the way
Their dreams, their lives, we built with care
A family bond beyond compare
Verse 4 (Grandson Blessing)
And now today our hearts are full
Our precious grandson beautiful
Charles, our joy, so sweet and small
The cutest blessing of them all
He brings new smiles, he brings new light
A brand new reason our hearts feel right
Our family circle now complete
With love so deep and so sweet
Verse 5 (Faith & Gratitude)
Heavenly Father, we give You praise
For Your guidance through all our days
For every blessing, great and small
For holding us through it all
Thank You for our family love
And all Your blessings from above
We walk with You, we’re not alone
Your grace has always brought us home
Verse 6 (Distance Message)
From Temwaiku across the sea
To Port Lincoln in South Australia, we
Send all our love, our wish, our song
For you where you belong
We work so hard, both day and night
To build our home with love and light
For every need, for every dream
We stand together as a team
Chorus
Happy birthday, buu 💖
Even distance can’t tear us in two
Thirty-six candles shining bright
You are my joy, my life, my light
Happy birthday, forever true
All my love will always reach you
Outro
From 2008 until today
Our love has never gone away
With children, grandson, love so true
Forever I will stand by you
