Adventures Await

Seventy years, a life bright and grand

Down in Florida's sands, we make our stand

With laughter and joy, we gather today

To celebrate a milestone in a special way

Years of dedication, a physician's caring touch

Bob's retiring now, but he's given so much

From Illinois skies to Florida's warm embrace

A new chapter begins, with a slower pace

Oh, Bob and Tammy, what a life they lead

Adventures await, they're planting the seed

Every National Park, and continents wide

Together in love, side by side

A missionary child in the Philippines

To the land of dreams, where life convenes

His journey shaped him, a life so full

With faith and love, he's always been whole

After loss, they found each other anew

With passion and purpose, their love grew

Two hearts united, through life's great test

In each other's arms, they've found their rest

Oh, Bob and Tammy, what a life they lead

Adventures await, they're planting the seed

Every National Park, and continents wide

Together in love, side by side

From skydiving thrills to zip lines high

Safari drives under the African sky

Speed boats in New Zealand, paragliding too

Their travels are endless, always something new

Thirteen grandkids, with one more on the way

Grammy and Papa, their love on display

New York City dreams, this summer they'll fly

Creating memories that will never die

A man of faith, integrity so true

Reads his Bible, prays for the family too

"Your Horton" he signs, faithful and strong

In love and life, where he belongs

Seventy years, and many more to come

With Tammy by his side, life is never humdrum

Happy birthday, Bob, here's to the days ahead

Filled with love, adventure, and paths yet to tread
