Happy, Happy Birthday, Bono!!

Ora cantano tutte insieme le tue melodie nel mondo
E' alta nel cielo la musica che ci hai dato tu
e nessuno puo piu cancellare
e mai piu dimenticare
Corri verso il mare sentirai cantare
questa musica dolce che non morira mai
Resti il sogno che non muore mai...

Bono, Siete un Re!

Con amore ed ammirazione,

Happy Birthday Bono! Have a great day :-)

from Robyn, Australia

Dear Bono--I'm doing my best to follow in your footsteps in trying to make the world a better place, but I'll never catch up to you. Besides helping the African people, I wanted to do something that would give you back even a little of the gift you've given to me through your music and your example. U2's music is my lifeline to hope and inspiration--right up there with my family--and is the backbone of the ideas my husband and I want our children to grow up with and practice. We all wish you every happiness on your birthday, and I'll be celebrating it too, because if you didn't have a birthday I don't want to think about what my life would be missing. If my dream of meeting U2 ever comes true, be prepared for the hug of your life--and that goes for Edge, Adam and Larry too! On May 10, know that a mental birthday hug is being sent your way.

Monday morning... thanks for the music, for the big ideas, for the dreams... rock on, Bono!

Bono,
Thank you for your passion and your inspiration!
Happy Birthday!

Thanks for all that you do to inspire others. Continued blessings to you.

Dearest Bono,

Take VERY good care of yourself, Bono - we need you here with us for as long as possible. And please know - GOD BLESSES YOU ALWAYS!

My Sincerest and Deepest Love,

HAPPY 44th BIRTHDAY!I hope that you have a really great day. I also just want to say a BIG thanks to you and U2 for the amazing music you create, the meaning in the lyrics as well as your angelic voice is so powerful,it is really inspiring! I also want to thank YOU for the wonderful work that you have done for Africa and the world. I have been a big fan of U2 and you for 3years now and have learnt to appreciate both the music and the work that you do in the world. While you are just another Rock Star to some people in the world, you are an apsolute Saint and Role Model to people like myself. I am only 15 and might not understand fully what is going on in the world around me, but with what you are doing it makes it easier to learn more. Thank You again! The world would be so much better if there were more like yourself.

Thank You so much for the things that you have done for those who are less privelliged than yourself. Always remember to keep your head held high, and carry on no matter what others say.

'Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up - Galatians 6:9

I hope you have a wonderful birthday with family and friends - I'll be thinking of you.

Thanks for the wonderful music and the inspiration and for lightening up my life.

And thanks for trying to make the world a better place.
I really admire you for still keeping on fight for the Africans.
I'm sure this must get really tough at times.
Please never give up doing this.
There are many many people believing in you and you're giving us all a reason to believe that the the world can and will be a better place someday.

I wish you love, joy, and faith.

Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water,
Jack fell down and broke his crown,
But Jill? she didn't give a fiddlers fart because at last they had a well.

Thanks for your music, it soothes the soul.

Love to you and your wonderful family
May God bless you and give you the strength you need to continue to juggle all your commitments with continued success.

Happy Birthday!!!

Thanks for all you do in music and the world. We need more people like you. Your efforts in Africa inspire me when I think I can't accomplish something in my life. If you can convince the world to get behind this cause then I can overcome my minor obstacles. Like you said "Uncertainty can be a guiding light..."

Lou Majoris

You keep on cracking the door open a bit, so the rest of us can come along and kick it wide. Have a blessed and happy birthday Bono!

Peace,

Dear Bono,
I wish you a wonderful birthday and many more healthy and inspiring years to come!
I take this opportunity to thank you (and the rest of the band) for being their with your great music for about 20 years of my life.
You 'walk your talk' and that's so inspiring for all of us. Keep up the good work, you don't have to do this alone! "To carry each other is not a burden at all but a kind of privilege" you said this month in Berlin. What a wonderful thing to say and -it must be- to experience!
See you next year when you play Holland! I'm looking forward to it!
With love,

Dear Bono,

LA MULTI ANI! Many returns to the day!

Please stay tuned to receive all the love the fans are sending you on your birthday and every day! You taught us that every drop counts in the sea of love, so we, a handful of fans from Romania, have gathered our humble forces to add a drop. We thank you for the joy and the lessons the music of U2 has given us and we're eagerly waiting for what's next, hoping the next tour will bring you, at last, to Romania!

With all our love,
Anca, Cristina, Ady, Andi, Costin, Ovidiu, Octav and all at www.u2.ro

Dear Bono,
your birthday is the best reason to say thank you! Thank you for your music, your lyrics, and most of all for touching our hearts and minds. Thank you for giving your voice, your heart and your time to those who need it the most. Thank you for trying to make the world a better place and for inspiring others to follow your path. You've already made the world a better place for many of us.

I hope you'll have the best birthday and a great next 44 years.

Love you
Christine

Dear Mr.Paul Hewson (BONO-VOX)

Well,I will start off with saying a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY!Enjoy being 44! I really hope you enjoy that special day. I also just want to thank you so much for opening my eyes to the troubles in the world around us. I live in Cape Town,SA. I have been a BIG fan for 3years, and really appreciate all you have done for our country and the world. I am only 15 and might not understand all that goes on, but with all the things that you do for others has really motivated me to learn and understand more about what you do. The music that you and U2 create is so unbelievably amazing that I will listen to a cd for an entire afternoon and only turn it off when my mother begs me to.

Thank you for your good heart, and your Angelic voice. The world really needs more people like yourself.
Keep your head held high,and have a Beautiful Day.

'Every good gift is from above,
coming down from the Father'

Happy Birthday B-Man. I give this gift in your honor; for leading by example.

Over the years you've taught us to be aware (spiritually and politically). You've taught us that tolerance is not a bad word. You've taught us that giving, caring, sharing and love are the best things we can do for one another. I thank you. The world thanks you.

I bid you a happy birthday and great health to you and yours. Cheers!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BONO
Donating to the African Well Fund is a great way to help the African people. I donated last year and this year.
Keep doing what you're doing. You have a right and a duty to speak out. We fans are getting the message, hopefully others will, as well.

Bono,

I'm so happy to be giving this gift again this year for your birthday. I want to thank you for inspiring me to do something like this. Through the years I have culled much inspriration and emotions from the music that you, Larry, Edge and Adam make and the lyrics that you write. I don't know what I'd do without your music. You are all beautiful people. I wish you and your family well and Have a WONDERFUL BIRTHDAY!

Cheers,

Bono, I couldn't think of a better way to celebrate your birthday. My very first U2 show was on May 10, 2001 - so I guess that's a close second! Have a wonderful birthday. Much love, Suzannah

Some people in this world really can make a difference, people from the past and people in the present. Bono, you are one of those people who have made a difference! Not only in the music business, being the singer of the best band in the world but also your work for Africa and showing people what one person can do for the world.
I read some messages from last year on the birthday card what was sent to you and how fantastic it is to see that many U2 fans feel the same way as I do; thanking you for the music of U2 and thanking you for what you have done for the world. I hope you will continue your work for Africa because you are an example to so many people and U2 stands for making a difference in the world besides beautiful songs which hit you straight into your heart. And of course I hope U2 will keep on rocking for another 20 years or so.
I am glad I read about this birthday present and that I can do something for Africa.
I am looking forward to the new U2 album, curious what U2 is going to do next and hopefully see you in the Netherlands again in 2005?!
Happy birthday to you or as we say in the Netherlands: Van harte gefeliciteerd!

Love from Lia Rijneveld
The Netherlands

The example and music you have given me is something I will be eternally grateful for. Thank you for speaking up for Who and What you believe in. You have helped me see more clearly and truely. You and your music reflected light when I was stumbling in the night. My continued prayers will be with you and the people of Africa whom you are laboring for. Thank you and have a wonderful forty-fourth birthday!

"The heart very seldom leads the head but it can and should obey it"C.S.Lewis Happy Birthday Bono!Kindest regards,Jo Sanchez

I couldn't wish you only an happy birthday but also a great life 'cause I know that your life it's really a wonderful life! U2's music, melody and lyrics have changed my life, now I can't spend my life without it and trough your music I found the way to reach the Truth hidden in the infinitely beauty of reality. In the beauty I can find the Truth, yes now I know who I am, only in You I'm completed.
Reality is always the same, the music doesn’t change it, but the mind could be changed by the music, and as you know the goal is the soul. Reality is very hard as you teach me, but life is something positive ‘cause I’m aware that there’s a positive presence in the life that I can feel every second of my existence.
Thanks a lot for lovin’ human beings and go on in the way you know!
Thank you for the great gift that you give us in every song…

dear Bono,

I just want to ask you one thing:
Never stop doing it; never stop following your heart
that's all I have to say

It's not often a person views a contemporary as his "hero". Yet, through your artistic integrity, political vision, heart-felt endeavors and deeply appreciated perseverance, you have been my hero for over two decades. Thank you, dear Bono, for showing the world that a rock star can truly “f*ck up the mainstream”. Your philanthropy has served as my inspiration to “do something”. I now hope that my actions inspire another, who in turn inspires another, who in turn inspires another… As a person who joins you in his 40’s this year, I think this type of world-wide benevolence truly would be a most outstanding gift. Happy Birthday, Bono!

Happy birthday, God bless you.

Lou, x

Bono, may God bless you on your birthday and all year long! Happy Birthday and Sto Lat!!!

Water

Everything on the earth bristled, the bramble
pricked and the green thread
nibbled away, the petal fell, falling
until the only flower was the falling itself.
Water is another matter,
has no direction but its own bright grace,
runs through all imaginable colors,
takes limpid lessons
from stone,
and in those functionings plays out
the unrealized ambitions of the foam.

~Pablo Neruda

Thank you for your inspiration and for your ongoing commitment to help realize the ambitions of the less fortunate among us.

Happy Birthday! ¡Feliz cumpleaños! Joyeux anniversaire!

God bless...

With love and admiration,

Mon cher Bono,
au nom de tous ceux qui se battent pour un monde meilleur,
ceux qui se battent pour notre chère terre,
ceux qui restent dans l'ignorance la plus totale,
je te souhaite un Joyeux Anniversaire.Que le bonheur et l'amour remplisse ton coeur et ceux de ta famille.
Surtout reste toi même,ne change rien.
Encore MERCI pour tout ce que tu donnes pour aider les personnes dans le besoin.Tu es un exemple à suivre. Si seulement tous les grands de ce monde pouvaient ouvrir les yeux...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BONO!!and see you soon in FRANCE!
May God continue to bless You an your family,

Happy Birthday Bono! Thank you for continuing to inspire me, not just through your music, but through your actions as well. Thank You for everything you do to make the world a better place. God Bless.

Bono, I have you to thank for helping me see that thousands of our African brothers and sisters are dying every day from lack of clean water - something easily taken for granted here in the U.S. While watching the video diary of your tour with Paul O'NeilI I was touched by the dignity and beauty of people living in extremely adverse conditions. You proved that money used honestly and effectively can give these precious people a future. It's an honor to donate toward the well fund in your name again, because you are a HERO! Happy Birthday!

Laurie Mayhew, Arizona

Dear Bono,

You've helped us to pack our suitcases for places that have to be believed to be seen. (like Killiney beach... ;) and serving Methodist Churches in the UK)

Thanks for being an instrument of God's grace and peace in our lives and for the world. Keep kicking at the darkness, and we will too. It's all we can do... with God's help.

Just do us a favor, and have us a *FCC-ing* brilliant album on the shelves by OUR birthday in November! Thanks.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY FROM SAN SEBASTIAN!
WE WISH YOU HAVEA GREAT DAY WITH THE ONES YOU LOVE!!
GOOD LUCK WITH THE NEW ALBUM!

I think it is great that the U2 community can pull together for such a worthwhile endeavor. U2's music and the way the band members choose to live your lives has been truly an inspiration in my own.

I live in Rochester, NY where there is exciting work being done on a HIV/AIDS Vaccine at the University of Rochester/Strong Hospital. I invite you to come visit sometime!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BONO! I WISH YOU ALL THE LOVE OF THE WORLD..THANKS FOR YOUR WONDERFUL MUSIC,I HOPE YOU'LL COME BACK SOON IN ITALY AND THAT ONE DAY MY DREAM ABOUT MEETING YOU AND TALKING TO YOU WILL COME TRUE! TI VOGLIO BENE,SIMO

Bono,
The attention that you have brought to Africa is invaluable. It is this reason that I have become aware of the opportunity to help build a well in Africa. You have encouraged millions to dream out loud, and, well, now I'm dreaming at full volume! I am proud to donate in your name, and I wish you and yours all the best.

Dear Bono,

Thx for the music and sharing your heart with the world!

Dear Bono,
Happy Birthday! It's wonderful that you are using your fame to support people who cannot so easily get their voices heard. I admire your compassion as well as your talent. U2 are not only doing reat things for music but for the people of the world.
I hope that your music and compassion live for many years to come!
May your wishes come true on your birthday

Kara

Bono,
Congratulations or your birthday. I am a big fan of U2's music and I have always admired your gift to voice your concerns about the state of the world. It's so refreshing to know that rockstars and celebrities do still care about the important things in life instead of their bank balance. I have some friends who are also u2 fans, and we heavily admire your work.
Please keep up the good work and keep on challenging the views so many countries have on the third world. You have a tribe of fans who listen to you, and respect what you do and will try to follow and help.
Once again, happy birthday-hope you get what you want!

Robyn :) XxXxXxXxXxXxXx

Dear Bono,
to be able to wish you Happy Birthday once again in this way - to help the African Well Fund to carry out a concrete action for Africa and to make it in your name - it’s really good. I’m very proud to be your fan, because with your words and your actions you are a rare light in the night of this dirty world.
Thanks in order to have fed my anger and my knowledge as regards what happens in a continent that dies in nearly absolute indifference and in the ignorance of those who has all. And thanks for your songs. They have given a lot to me, have made me to grow, taught me to dream, rendered me more strong. Thanks finally for your sweetness, the infinite kindness you have showed me the times in which I have met you, the last year in Dublin. I shall never forget it!
So I’d like to tell you are wonderful, incredible, amazing; but words do not exist in order to describe you. You are too much great!

I hope with all one’s heart that every day of your life is full of joy and serenity, forever.

BUON COMPLEANNO, BONO, TI VOGLIO BENE.

Maria

HOWDY BONO AND HAPPY 44TH BIRTHDAY!!!!

This year will be my second time to give to the African Well Fund, and I plan to give each and every year. Not only can I see the progress of the wells being built on a monthly basis, but I know it is the gift that keeps on giving. For this reason, this is why I give to this special charity in your honor. Also, you have shown us that one man can make a difference and help save the world. I am very proud to say that I am both a huge U2 and Bono fan. If it wasn't for you and the guys, I would have never known how easy it is to give a little bit of oneself to help others in need.

I wish you, your family, and the band another year of joy and happiness!

Love,

Allegra - Dallas, Texas

Bono,
It's such an honor to be part of something so dear to you.
Have a great Birthday!!

your generous use of you life is an inspiration that we are honored to be wittness to. happy birthday from your biggest and littlest fan, Lynn and Lily De Leon

You are my inspiration. You have a complicated life and no one would blame you for just staying home and enjoying the fruits of your labor whenever you could. But instead, leading by example, you have shown the world what it means to live a Christian life of selfless service to others. If you can make time to do this, then I have no excuse. Thank you for inspiring me to Dream Out Loud.

Happy Birtday! Love, Bonnie

If I could describe how much you mean to me in full Bono, then this message would cover a lot of pages. But there isn't room for that. What I'm trying to say is, I don't know what I'd do if not for you. Every time I know that there's going to be difficult times ahead, I always think to myself, "What would Bono do?" Just listening to your voice brings comfort to me. Thank you so much for doing your best, through your music and your humanitarian work, to ease human misery all over the world. Thank you also for making me a better person and inspiring me to(I like to think) help try and make the world a better place. You're an angel, a wonderful human being, and an inspiration to us all. You've done so much to keep our hopes alive. Bless you.

I love you,

Maddy

P.S. I think I speak for all of your fans when I say congratulations on the Law degree.

As long as there is Love in this world, there is an opportunity for Peace to thrive. You may see yourself as a humble man but that is what we need: more humility and less dreams of immortality. You are an inspiration to the world (and myself) as a man of Compassion and Spirit. God Bless you for your continuous efforts!
May you have a marvelous birthday full of Love and Laughter!

At 18, I have worked with an NGO for 2 years and have made (I like to think) a difference to peoples lives and the person I have to thank for that is you.
Through your kindness and relentless campaign work, you have managed to persuade me that "Its my world and I can change it"
As much as I'd like to, I can't give you Peace On Earth for your birthday today but I can give you something to be very proud of.
I'd like to take this oportunity to Thank You for the music which has touched my soul and the belief that prevents me from giving up no matter how bleak the big picture can sometimes get.
With this message, I send every ounce of my love and my eternal thanks
Happy Birthday, gorgeous. Have a Guinness on me.

I could never give enough to equal what U2's music has given me.

Have a wonderful 44th birthday Bono!

There's no them only us.

Happy Birthday Bono! You have a heart as big as the world, God bless you and your family and thankyou for your music.
Tracy, England.

Bono, birthdays should be celebrated with food and drink, with joy and people and love. I hope yours is. I know that thousands of people will drink clean water today because of you and your work, and that's a different kind of party. Happy birthday. Here's to life.

I am honored to give to such a worthy cause in your name. On your special day, please know that you are an inspiration to so many people. Your music, and your life, have touched me in so many ways, i only hope that you can fully realize how positive of a force in this world you are. Always remember that Bono. Thank you for saving my life and being my inspiration.
May God bless you and your family.
Mark Allen - Canada

No one is more deserving of this honor than you. It is only right with all you and the other members of U2 have done for worthy causes in this world. You with U2 and it's fans accomplish so much, that I feel honored to be in that group for taking part in worthy causes in the past and now and will continue to do so....Always.

In the name of love...We bring to you the gift of life for Africans. Your dedication, spirit and will-power show all your fans just how great we all need to be someday. If you walk away....We will follow!

I wish you an happy birthday and I hope you will come early in Belgium for a concert. You are the best! I love you!
Amélie from Belgium.

Happy Birthday Bono!
Do you know that God had send his angels
and it's you! You very helped me to stay
alive and I thank you! You are like a big
brother for me and I love you!
I hope that I will meet you someday!
See ya!

On your birthday I pray that you are blessed with inner peace, vitality,great success and that you receive as much as you have given. I also pray that the great spiritual beauty of the African people can been seen throughout the world so that all people in every nation are awaken to the plight of the continent of Africa and are moved to action. If we all give just a little, many miracles will occur.

Definition of grace:
The exercise of love, kindness, mercy, favor; disposition to benefit or serve another.
That seems to describe you and your actions. Thank you for all that you do and keep inspiring us TO do. We will try to "pay it forward"
I hope you have a beautiful Birthday surrounded by your family and friends. Blessings.
Love,

Mon cher Bono, je te souhaite un joyeux anniversaire et du fond du coeur je souhaite que tu restes mon père spirituel encore de nombreuses années. Tu fais preuve de beaucoup de dévouement, tu ne te laisses pas abattre malgré la pression qui s'exerce sur toi. Si seulement plus de personnes pouvaient te ressembler. Si seulement le monde dans lequel on vit réagissait et levait les yeux une bonne fois pour toute. Heureusement qu'il existe des gens comme toi...

Merci pour ton courage, ta générosité.merci pour tout.

Merci à U2, au rock que vous nous donnez avec tant de coeur et de puissance.
Continuez à nous transmettre tant de vibrations.

Longue vie à U2 et encore une fois
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BONO !!!!

Bono,

live you've sang to us Psalm 116 which starts, as you know, with the question, "What can I give back to God for the blessings he's poured out on me?"

I deeply believe helping to build wells in Africa is, in part, the answer.

Thank you Bono for inspiring people around the world to no longer be silent about things that matter.

May your Birthday be spent surrounded by the warmth, love, and comfort of your family and friends.

Happy 44th Bono!

Jenny Sermas

PS. This might not be the most appropriate time to say this but thanks for "Kite" and thanks for pulling me on stage during "New York" in NYC at The Garden. It was a small act, but it meant more to me than you will ever know. NYC Pride Forever! I Love NY!

Bono,

You are an inspiration to us all and I hope you persevere with the hard work you are doing for Africa. God bless.

Dear Bono, you crystallize love from thin air! Reading all the e-wishes from others on this card brought tears to my eyes, in the same way that your music does, from joy.

from: Krystel (Fort Wayne, IN, United States)

I decided to give $40 to the African Well Fund in honor of Psalm 40 & U2’s song 40, which so aptly denotes what could be a prayer for Africa:

I waited patiently for the Lord.
He inclined and heard my cry.
He brought me up out of the pit
Out of the miry clay.

May we answer their prayers and save an entire continent by all of us helping even in the smallest way.

Happy Birthday Bono, I believe in you.

Blessings,

Among all the great things you do, I'd just like to highlight 2 things:
- yor involvment with the ones who need it, your everyday commitment, leaving you with few rest and family time, which makes of you a great personality,
- your music and the one of your 3 folks, that makes me feel better everytime I hear it.

What's more precious than that ?

Happy Birthday, and please, never stop.

Thanks for the inspiration to make a difference in this world. We take so much for granted and a well can make such a difference in a life which we'll probably never even know.

Happy birthday and hope to see you soon on the next tour!!!

From all in the city of Derby, England.

Bono -
Your strength and commitment to the African people is nothing short of inspirational. Never stray from your peaceful approach - you set a marvelous example for us all.

Thank you for allowing us to be a part of the journey. Together we'll see the cause through to a solution, providing hope and saving lives.

Happy Birthday! I'll see you on the next U2 tour...

Dear Bono

Thank you for bringing so much joy into my life and the lives of so many others. May your life too be full of joy and love and I wish the same for your family and friends and of course Edge, Larry and Adam.

Together you create music to live by and make the world a happier and more beautiful place. Thank you all and keep up the wonderful work!

Through your voice you reach out to so many, through the songs and through your activism. Thank you for being strong enough to continue spreading hope and love in today's often cynical world and for being brave enough to express what you feel. Thank you also for your engagement in the practical problems of an unjust world. Many would like to solve the problems but not everyone tries. You lead by example. "Torn in two, we can be one." You are an inspiration to me.

Wishing you a very Happy Birthday

Rejoice!

much love,
Aoife

Happy Birthday. You are loved and respected and admired by so many. You touch my soul every day with your music and your courageous acts. I'm going to work for you some day...or Ali; she's pretty wonderful too! Your devoted fan and faithful sister, jessi

Happy Birthday Mr. B,

Thanks so much for your leading us in this endeavour. Thanks to you and the band for music that has oftentimes been all that's kept me going. Thanks to Ali for being the amazing woman she is. In short, THANKS!

God Bless and Happy Birthday,
Aisling

I have a photo of you on my fridge - one of you meeting George Bush. When my voluntary work seems hard, when I don't feel like making yet another phone call, I look at the photo and think "How hard was THAT? If Bono could do that, surely I can manage this."

And if that doesn't work I turn on the stereo and listen to your beautiful voice.

Keep smiling, keep crying,
keep singing, keep trying.

Janet Jackson,
Parkerville, Western Australia.

Best wishes to you on your 44th B-Day. You inspire us to try to change the world for the better, so that we become better. We are in awe of your courage and strength in showing us how one person can change the world and make a difference. You have touched my heart and changed my life forever. May God keep you in his care and continue to guide you on your journey.
Thank you for all the goodness you have brought to our world.

Sincerely

Maria Kallen
