I tried some Card Sentiment poetry

I've been a busy chap, juggling various activities...

This evening, I'm a poet...

...maybe :)

For my Zazzle store I thought I'd do a couple of thankyou cards with a poem for the sentiment. Hmm, not quite sure, what do you think? Does it catch the sentiment ok or should I think about changing it?
Thank you for being you
For always being there
For shielding me from all the hurts
When thoughts became despair
But most of all you have my thanks
The answer to my prayers
But due the most, are thanks for being
An answer to my prayers

MODERN RAP BIRTHDAY.

This is a birthday rap,
So put on your shoes and tap,
This message is on its way,
From me to you, Happy Birthday.

RETIREMENT

As time and tide slowly ebb,
You've been busy weaving your web,
So now's the time to reap and relax,
And live your life to the max.

I'm not an expert, as you know. The two first strophes are perfect. The last one needs a little touch in the first verse, and will be. In my opinion, you have a future as a Poet, but as a teacher I say you need to work on the subject, because it's promising. Potential, my friend, you have. Lots. Very sincere.

@Sylvia - ooh, that's a bit technical for me but I got the drift (once I looked up the meaning of 'strophe')

I wasn't overly happy with the last two lines anyway (I think that's where you were saying more work was needed). So what do you think of the change?
