John Walter Bratton Quotes

On your 60th, here's something philosophical
To give the old grey matter a stir
How old would you be
If you didn't know how old you were?

It is said that insincere apologies can be detected while heart-felt apologies melt away all grievances, anger and hatred. Felt with all my heart I'm sooo sorry Apologies Sorry Soz so so So Sorry

If I could choose the perfect Dad
There's no one I would rather
Have Dad, than you Dad
Coz you go further, Father
Happy Birthday Father

Daddy
I'm just little
But I love you
BIG
Happy Birthday Big Daddy

Don't think of 60 as ten years older than 50.
Think of it as only 1 year older than 59
Go ahead, as it's your birthday
Delusion, today, is just fine

What I said
Wasn't wise
It wasn't even true
I apologise

Goodbyes are not forever
Goodbyes aren't final, when
You only mean we'll miss you
Until we meet again

Being vintage like a fine wine
Should make you proud of being old
And being mature like a cheese
Certainly explains the mould!
Fester on undaunted into your 7th decade

At 50, you probably get muddled?
I'm the same, that's how I know?
If you ever get lost, don't worry?
Just change where you want to go

Still very active
And rarely seen apart
You're teenage geriatrics
Modern and young at heart

Today is very
For it's about a special birth
For the very finest Dad
That ever walked upon this Earth

You really must stop acting
Like a 20-year-old, gold plated
In a midlife crisis
You just graduated
Happy 60th

How much I wish I could tell you, Dad
How much you mean to me ...
But there are no words to say
How much I admire you ...
appreciate you ...
thank you for everything you've done.
love you
Actually, there are
I've just used them
How much I wish you
A happy, happy birthday Dad

The best inheritance a father can leave his children is a good example.

We've shared good (times)
We've shared good fries
We've shared good (beers)
But never goodbyes ...
Till now
Mind how you go, good buddy

Throw all caution to the wind, today, on your 40th
No need to have wisdom and sage
But tomorrow, as you start your 5th decade
Do try to act more your age

Proud parents to two children
Grandparents to five more
Who visit the "Harper Bakery"
It's Gran's cooking they all adore

Over a pint in the pub, you have a good moan
That's the fate of every Magpie
While Mam perfects her game show skills
Giving talks at the WI

Look back on your wedding
And be filled with joy and pride
Deservedly so, for the many years
You've flourished, side by side

Dad, because you are my father it's been easy to believe in God.

Thank you Dad ...
for listening and caring,
for giving and sharing,
but, especially, for just being you!
Happy Birthday to you

A mother beyond compare Have a lovely day Mom

Take life with a pinch of salt
A shot of tequila and a wedge of lime
Do nothing at all
But take your time

I love you
Just coz
Please forgive me
I'm soz

Consider this on your birthday
You've got life's struggle beaten
For 60 years you've ate
And avoided being eaten

Congratulations!
If I may be so bold
Only 40 years to go
Before you're a century old
Just saying

Mom as it's your birthday
And, unfortunately, not mine
Give me some money and I'll get out your hair
While you have a large glass of wine
I try so hard to be thoughtful

It's Good ... But
No more rush hour driving
To start and end your day
No more early alarm calls
But..much less pay
No more back stabbing
Or rising to the bait
No more phone calls from the boss
Asking you to work late
But ... having to get by
On half your hourly rate
Now you have all day
To sit or doze to stay to go
Anywhere you like ...
..cheaply
You've got less dough
Travel around the world
Do anything you've desired
But do it economically
Now that you're retired

Congratulations on turning 60
Now you can wear what you like
No one cares, and more particularly
You're fine telling 'em 'Take a hike'

It started with a simple ring,
You became husband and wife,
You progressed to being parents
And you're still best friends for life.

True Friends are the bacon bits
In the salad bowl of life. How true
I read that and straight away,
My thoughts turned to you
And especially today on your 60th
These special wishes I send
Have a really wonderful birthday
My special "bacon flavored" friend

You've had a long working life
As everyone knows
You can now do nothing at all
And then have a doze
Enjoy Your Retirement

Because I was flat out wrong
I'm on my knees
Begging that you
Will forgive me, please

A Dad gives hope
When life is low
A Dad's a place
Where you can go
A Dad is honest
A Dad is true
A Dad is precious
My DAD is You
Happy Birthday to YOU
Happy Birthday to YOU
Happy Birthday , Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday to YOU

It's a good thing wrinkles don't start 'til you're 50ish.
So, wrinkles, then Happy 60th, and then
Just think, you'll be 70
In just those short years, numbering ten

This sorry poem
Isn't long
It's simply to say
I was wrong!!

In all the years together
You've shared joy, and contentment too
Long may it continue
In the years ahead, for the both of you

It's all flags, fireworks, family, food and fun
That's July Four
July Five, the fun is done
The fireworks are no more

Free ... Yes ... FREE time
Is what retirement brings
Leisure, lounging and loafing
And other lazy things

It's clear your marriage is a happy one
Your love is solid to the core
May the years ahead be happy ones
Each one happier than before

I'm glad God chose you to be my Dad!

Thousands of stars in the night sky,
And shells on the shore together,
Hundreds of birds that go singing by,
Especially in sunny weather.
Millions of dewdrops to greet the dawn,
Thousands of leaves in the fall,
Hundreds of butterflies on the lawn,
But only one father, that's all.
Happy Birthday
To the One and Only

At last some time for pleasure trips
And do what you want to do
The time to just take your time
It's toodle-oo to time that flew
Those plan A's and B's
Coming down of that dusty shelf;
it's your time now just for you
To do things for your self.

So OK, it's your special big Four-O birthday But don't expect me to be obsequious and fawning You, being you, can't possibly be a good example So do try, at least, to serve as a warning

Dad: someone who hopes his son will turn out just like him,
and who is afraid his daughters will meet someone who did.

A father is someone who can't get on the phone, in the bathroom or out of debt.

Six happy years together
Such a perfect matching
You're entering the 7 year itch zone
This is no time for scratching

Thanks, Mom for always being there For showing me such love and care. Thanks for all you've done and do How I turned out is down to you I love you Have a lovely birthday

You've reached your 60th birthday, Bill
To the year, the day, the hour
You've been a lifelong country boy
Along with Lily, your flower
And Robin ... that's the name of a bird
And Dawn ... that says it all

You've travelled through life together
Enjoying years of wedded bliss
We congratulate you on reaching
And we toast your happiness

Be pleased to look forward,
And pleased to look behind,
Count today, your 40th, and each birthday
With a grateful mind.

I've been writing verses
For 60 years ... phew!
And d'yer know why I did it?
T'was especially for you

May today be filled
With bright hopes for the future
And happy memories of the past

As it's your 40th birthday
This, we'd like to say
May you be bathed in goodness, happiness and sunshineness
On this, your special day.

If age was temperature,
You'd be getting hotter
Happy 60th degree
You, hot shotter

Congratulations on your well deserved retirement,
Wishing you every happiness in the years ahead.
No lying about your age, more lying around the house
After lying much longer in bed

It takes a minute to say hello
Why? I wonder why
When it's seems to take forever
When you have to say Goodbye?

When you gaze upon the lovely sight. Of twins, arm in arm, asleep at night. Think not that the house has been doubly messed. But that you, as parents, have been doubly blessed.

I'm soooo happy you're my Dad
And soooo I want to say
I love you, Dad, and wish you
A sooo very best birthday

May every memory that you share
Of dreams you've seen come true,
Help make this special anniversary day
A happy one, for the two of you
