This year she wanted to give him a diff'rent kind of gift
The kind that says I love you with a much endearing lift
So Teri asked for me to write a personalized poem
For her to give her husband while they celebrate at home
****
Tom Shortess is the kind of man that makes his Teri proud
A Christian in and out of church; his Jesus voice is loud
He always makes a sacrifice for family and church
A nicer guy you'll never find, no matter where you search
He took only the day shift when he worked for Government
So he was there at night for them, and it was time well spent
And at the time that Teri's health was suffering the most
He took care of the household, when MS was diagnosed
She's thankful for three sons that God put in their life to bless
And may the love of family always mean happiness
And Teri hopes Tom always knows her fav'rite part of life
Would have to be when God decided she would be his wife
Tom, everyone at FanStory is happy that we met
We hope your year is full of joy and you have no regret
And may your birthday be one that you soon will not forget
We join Teri with wishes that it is the best one yet
