Dearest Bono,
May you have the BEST birthday yet surrounded by the ones that you love and cherish the most.
Thank you for everything that you give us: your music which uplifts us, your activism which inspires us and your wonderful sense of humor which helps us to smile.
But most of all, Bono, I simply want to thank you for simply being you – unrehearsed and unabashed. Your inner strength and determination to always see the way through the darkness into the light, with as much humility as possible, is what I most admire about you.
May you always know that you are more effective than you may think you are and much more Loved than you could ever know.
And THANK YOU, BONO for being the spark which ignited the African Well Fund. As one of those who were there at the beginnings of the AWF, I have marveled at the growth and the miracles that the AWF does In the Name of Love.
Thousands of African families will reap the reward of your Luminous effect on the world. And I would wager that that might be your most favorite b-day present of all!(smile)
Take very good care of yourself, Bono. This world needs you here with us for as long as possible.
God blesses you always.
ONE in the Spirit, debbie
i cant believe its been a year already since i first found the African well fund – time flies! Once again, i wish for you a very special day with friends, family, a good bottle of red wine, and that which your heart most desires as a gift.

May 10 — We celebrate the day a great man was born!

This is a song for you(sorry my english is not perfect 🙂
Tomorrow
Searching my way
Running down away
Will you be there now
Will you send me a sign
Will you be there tomorrow
Will you be there tomorrow
I know you don’t understand
I’ve got a sad message to send
I have to find the truth
I have to play the game
and I’m looking for hope
With no shout and no tears of blood
And I hope you’ll be there
And I hope I’ ll keep breathing
And I hope you’ll live in my head
And I hope it will stop one day
And I hope you won’t let me down
Down, I don’t need you anymore
Will you be there tomorrow
Will you be there tomorrow
Will you try to understand me
accross the long hard road with me
I’ve been waiting for you today
I should not called you tonight
I knew you would not come and pray
Will you believe in me tomorrow
I’ll say to you it’s the loneliest day
Will you be back tomorrow
Will you be back tomorrow
Bono,
Once again, it’s difficult to put into words how much you mean to me, so again this is a note of thanks. Without your love I’d be nowhere at all. Thank you for always making your audience feel wanted, for continuing to stand your ground in the face of social injustice, and for inspiring so many of us to do the same. You saw the beauty inside of me, and in so many of us.
You are a remarkabe human being…….the world is a better place because of you. You once said that you feel that your audience has a voice through you – we do, and please never forget that in this cynical and at times desperately cruel world, we need you now to keep us safe…..more than ever. Happy birthday closest friend.
I love you.

Hello Bono,
Happy birthday, and, to add to what I said last year, I’d just like to add that I’m very proud of you.
take care,
Taking steps that me feel dizzy
Then I learn to like the way it feels
I hurt myself, I hurt my lover
Then I discover that what I thought was freedom
Was just greed…..I’ll be up with the sun, and I’m not coming down.
Happy Birthday and thanks for showing me the ‘sun’.
Happy birthday, sweetie!
Thanks for everything you brought to my life and to the world. I’m still enchanted by the light your brought to me..
Oh! And I hope you liked the cookies with your name here in Brazil 🙂

Happy Birthday Bono,
You are an inspiration with all the good work you are doing. Thank you for opening the world’s eyes to the huge problems in Africa and for giving a voice to millions of Africans that need the world’s help.
Keep up the good work,
Matt
Through your songs and your compassion, I was inspired to go to Africa where I discovered poverty and destitution beyond words, and a land and people so rich in dignity and spirit that seemed to transcended their impossible circumstances. My six months in Zimbabwe were life-changing.
Bono, thank you for helping to open our eyes to the world, showing us how we can live in peace and harmony and reminding us that poverty, a human invention,can be eradicated when we raise our voices and together decide that we will no longer accept it.
I wish you much joy and happiness and the happiest of birthdays ever. God Bless You!

Dear Bono,
Happy Birthday and thank you for the inspiration you’ve provided these many years to your fans and others for those less fortunate. Words can’t express the difference you’ve made to me in bringing awareness to the needs expressed by you so eloquently for the people of Africa. May God continue to bless your efforts and give you the fortitude for the many in Africa whose voice is found in you. Love and peace. God bless.

A Present to Us:
Paul Hewson, who calls himself “Bono”…
You are the gift God made for the World,
…for Africa.
There is no one else like you on this earth.
Your beauty is one of a kind here.
You have taken enough of the punches.
It’s time to rest up for a bit.
Because the World needs more of
Your poetry, imagery, messages, and ideas.
Ali, please take care of him – for Us.
Love you, love you, and admire you so much.
Gratefully yours,
Arlene Patry, Burlington, Ontario, Canada
Happy, Happy Birthday Bono/Paul!!! Thank you so much for all your good works and your wonderful music!

Bono,
Wishing you all the best on your birthday – I am grateful to have an opportunity to give a gift in your honor after all you have given me, which, this year alone, includes five concerts, a handshake, an autograph, and continual inspiration!!!
Thank you African Well Fund for organizing this!
Peace, Katie
Happy Birthday dear Bono! Thank you for all you do for the world. Peace and love,

For a person like you,just ‘happy birthday’ seems not enough…
I wish, from the bottom of my heart, health, love, peace and more courage for you. It´s hard to find people who care about others around the world who, unfortunally won´t have the chance to say ‘thank you’ or even ‘happy birthday’ to you, but, on their hearts, they are gratefull for every moment you thought on them.
Thank you for being who you are.
God bless you and, again, Happy Birthday… or, like we say here in Brazil, Parabéns!
With love,
Nathalia Martin, from Brazil
Happy Birthday Bono!
That just doesn’t say enough! I thank God for bringing you into this world…we need more
Bono’s in it! Thank you for your Grace and spirit. I know you have a mother and Father who are so proud of you! Thank you for your music and messages of Love & Peace. My two sons, 7 and 4 adore listening to you…and ask me to meet you! Only in our dreams!! You are Africa’s and the world’s special Angel..keep up the good work and keep Rockin’! I’ve been a fan for 26 years and can only hope that my two sons grow up to have at least half the compassion for others as you do!!
Come back to Philly!
All My Love to you, Edge, Adam and Larry, and all your families

Depuis que je suis petite j’ai grandi avec ta musique, mes parents vous adorent, même ma petite soeur de 10 ans vous écoute. Je suis fan de U2, vous etes tous les 4 merveilleux, merci pour ton combat pour l’Afrique, merci de me permettre de rêver en écoutant One avec ta voix chaude, merci!
Peutêtre un jour j’aurais la chance de te croiser au détour d’une rue à Dublin…

Bon anniversaire. Juste merci pour ce que tu fais. Tu nous fais prendre concience que l’avenir c’est nous qui pouvons le changer.
Happy birthday, Bono, thanks for all of the inspiration!
joyeux anniversaire Paul,
what more could you wish for that you already have? maybe just time and energy to pursue your restless activism, to achieve the goals you’ve been dreaming of.
Most of all , I want to thank you for the wonderful job you’re doing in putting pressure on politicians and mighties of the G8 countries. Thanks for raising their awareness about poverty, debt, diseases in africa among countless causes.
You are proving everyday that ocean is just drops, and and day after another, we all can do something to change the world.
Selfishly, I hope you’ll have a little time left for music, and that you will keep on enlight my life, since that day in 84 -I think- when I first saw U2 on stage , under a worn out big top in Marseille; I was 20. What a great memory.
Best Wishes- Amitiés
PS: if you happen to have a few moment left, would it be to much to ask that you work on your french a little more….you know it would please and flatter our french legendary ego. (fair enough, you ‘re part-french for us since spending time in our country.)
A great birthday to you, dearheart. Thank you for the music, but especially for the care that you give to your fellow man and woman. The work that you and so many others do mean that so many of the world’s poor will have a real chance at a real life with dignity.
All the best to you and yours,
Trina N. Green

Hau`oli la hanau Bono! (Hawaiian for Happy Birthday) Thank you Bono for being you – just trying to make a difference in whatever you can do to help those who need help and inspiring me and many people to do the same. Best wishes to you this new year of your life and on a shallow note, the hair cut looks great! 🙂 Looking forward to seeing you on tour again!
Happy Birthday Bono! I have been so blessed by
your music!! I am especially fond of “Walk On”
and I am now reading that book as well. My husband, Richmond, is a MEGA fan of U2 and has
introduced me to you “again”, since the 80’s
when we were teen-agers. We recently went to
your concert in Atlanta in November 2005. I was
really “blown away” by just the tone/mood in the
arena. I could sense the Holy Spirit’s presence in such a mighty way and I have been praying for
you and the rest of U2 daily since then! We feel
like you are one of our best friends. Thanks for
following the Lord’s voice in helping to give Africa a voice on earth! God bless you!
By the way, we would absolutely love to chat with
you sometime.
Walk on….
Happy Happy Happy Birthday Bono! May god bless you and yours in the year to come. Enjoy your birthday and always have fun. You are an insperation to us all with all the work that you do for africa. Love Ya Bono!!!

Happy Birthday, B.

Happy, Happy Birthday Bono!
I had the opportunity of attending the U2 show in Cleveland, OH on December 10, 2005. It was an awesome time- and I was wearing my ONE bracelet.
Thank you for never tiring of doing good for the benefit of “the least of these”. I am proud of you for taking your platform as a celebrity and choosing to use it in the way you have. Continue to stay in the Word and your heart will stay tender. As with each of us, it is so hard to put aside our selfish desires and to have the mind of Christ. Keep on keeping on the narrow path.
Whenever I listen to a U2 album, I remember to pray for you, the band and your marriages.
Have a great birthday and an Awesome year!
Happy Birthday Bono! Keep up the good work in Africa. I hope to go there one day myself. I am happy to hear that the well project is in Zimbabwe this year as I am very interested in what is going on in that Country and how it affects my sponsored child, Learnmore.
Happy Birthday Bono!
I have been a hudge U2 fan since the 1980s. U2 concerts are always a must for me. I saw you in Tampa and Chicago during the Veritgo Tour!

Thanks Monsieur Bono and take care of you and your family.

From Christoffer Ingvaldsen/Clayton jr.
Happy B’Day Bono – you have managed to let the fans ‘in’ in such a way that we all feel like we know you, (and we love you). If I could project the impact you’ve had on my life I would – but there is no way a few words could do this – so I will simply say a most heart felt Thank you. Take care of Edge for us and I’ll wait patiently for my chance to see you on stage again (I’m on perpetual standby to Hawaii 😀 ). Love and Peace. Jennifer
Often your music or something you’ve said has brought me out of cynicism and unbelief. You have been an inspiration to me for the past ten years and I thank God that there are people in the world like you. Thank you for continuing to wake me up to the suffering in God’s world and thank you for empowering me to be God’s hands and feet.
We wish you the happiest birthday ever along with much happiness, success, love and good health. You have been an inspiration to both young and old in our families. Keep on writing, speaking, singing, performing and helping those less fortunate. You have made our world a better place. Happy Birthday to you and Jordan!! Love, Sue, Bernie, Bernice, Laurie, Harvey, Jodi, Dan, Marni, Dan and two year old Jordan and Ryan

PS…My 6yr old daughter sings “Hallelujah” from the Hallelujah Chorus during Elevation in place of the “woo-woo’s!” Thought you’d like to hear that she has always sung it this way since she was about 3!
Hey Bono, Happy Birthday. May God bless your years of living and continue to thank god also. Thanx for helping out not only for Africa, but for the whole world. We will always be on your side fighting crisis. Keep up the good work in music also. Peace….

We are grateful you are bringing his and our attention to this situation that WE can fix.
You have done so much for so many. Be proud of this.
In your own words: “My God doesn’t need any cash, Mister.” But Africa certainly does. Glad we could help.

Bono,
Thank you for all that you do – you’re spectacular and the world is a better place because you’re in it.
Think about it this way – just the celebration of your birthday is saving lives. At the rate we’re going, by the time you’re 50, everyone who needs access to clean water we’ll have it!
I’ll drink to that – and to you.
Cheers,

FOR PAUL HEWSON – HAPPY 46TH BIRTHDAY
This is the moment to give you, my dear Paul, my “GRAZIE” for all that you made in this time.
It has been a year of war, of death and desperation for the poorest people of the world because this persons are becoming always more poorest. However it has been a year with more FAITH. I pray everyday for the people like you, like Karol Woityla, like Madre Teresa of Calcutta because they give us the way for increasing our faith. Faith and love are the road for peace.
Thank you very much Paul. Thank you for all that you have done for us this year. Thanks for your activism for African people, for the HIV cancer, for your battle with politicians, managers in this important umanitarian question, thanks for your presence in much talk-shows and radio interviews.
God, surely, is blessing you.
One kiss to your family from mine (Laura, Alberto and by my new son Riccardo).
A special kiss to Ali, Jordan, Eve, Eliah and John.
You are every day in my hearth.
If you’ll need my help please contact me everytime.
My best greetings to all your staff especially for Cecilia, Fernando, Jenifer…… of U2.com.
I love you forever.

It is an honor to wish you a happy birthday. You have been blessed with knowing your purpose, and what God’s designed for you. Thank you for being so generous with sharing all that you do with all of us. It has been fun getting to follow you and your career for 20 years!
Happy birthday! Speech, speech!!
Thanks for being a role model, an inspiration, an encouragement, a hope to carry on and you’re always there to lend a hand in every- sorry. All Elvis lyrics aside, I’m proud to be a fan. Your example has taught me grace and integrity, and led me to grow spiritually and artistically. I like your hair, too.
I’d like you to know that your background has encouraged me in starting my business no matter how small and how awful I may be. (Don’t quote me on that.) I’m the age you were when U2 began and I’ve done very well; without you and your ambition, I might not have thought I could pull it off.
“Sixth and lastly,” thank you for taking the time to read all these messages. Happy birthday, Bono.
I’ve been a fan since “Boy”. I am proud to support your work Bono – keep it up – your actions are as inspiring as your words!
Thanks for your amazing music – it is theraputic.
You are one of the most Beautiful people I have ever seen. Thank you for sharing your music and inspiration, the spituality, all the great shows I saw last year, playing Walk On in Detroit it brought tears to my eyes, But most of all the compassion for others, your voice IS making a difference.
Let us know how we can help were listening…
So Much Love,
Irish Kat in Michigan
Bono, I am very greatful to God because he have sent you to the world to support these people who really need. Keep your smile and you heart shinig so bright to the world!

Happy birthday! I do a tribute to you for a living! http://www.bonoandone.com
All the very best to you! Have a great year!!!
Dear Bono,
Breithlá sona duit!
The Vertigo Album meant much to me this past year, since I too lost my father suddenly at 62, in Dec 2004. Your album help me feel some of my inner deep emotions and still is. My father was a really true lover of music. He loved Elvis, Rock N Roll & Blues and also Rap sometimes :). He taught me many things but the most important one was is Love of music and Peace. You truly inspire great emotions of love when I see or hear you and your band. I feel sometimes like a teen even if I’m 2X that age :). I saw your concert in November in Montreal, and that night will always be in my memory until my last days. I particurlarly liked the video of a man walking alone…
Your actions also inspire me. I wrote to many of my political representatives to make them increase the help to Africa even if Paul MArtin let us down this time… We will make a difference the more we are and the more we do!
If ever you pass by Montreal,give me a ring and I will gladly make you a nice supper or have a drink with you Sláinte!
Have a super birthday and all the best to you!
Go n-éirí an bóthar leat! Síochán leat!
A bientôt j’espère!
Natasha- A Montreal sister

U2 fan.
I have been a fan of U2 since the first Live Aid-I have been hooked ever since. U2 and Bono have been part of the soundtrack of my life and I finally got to experience myself my first U2 concert in Cleveland, OH in December, 2005. I was looking forward to it for so long-years-because I had missed out on other tours. I was not let down. I was blown away-It truly was a magical night. Bono-thanks to you and the other memebers of U2 for the outstanding music you give us and thank you to you for being an example of what a person can become. You truely are a hero.
Staci
Happy birthday to you Bono. Thank you for all

Happy Birthday to you, Bono!
My youngest son, Sammy, is 4 years old and wants you to know that he loves your music and sings loudly and dances enthusiatically to “Vertigo.” It goes without saying in our household, and in Ann Arbor Michigan for that matter, that I thoroughly enjoy U2 as well! Most especially my family appreciates what you are doing for the world! Sammy and I wanted to let you know that we made a donation for a well in your name. We look forward to U2’s next visit to Detriot! Much LOVE and PEACE to you, Ali, and your children~
Lots of Love and God bless you!

A Birthday Prayer for Bono from “The Valley of Vision -A Collection of Puritan Prayers” by Arthur Bennett
A Disciple’s Renewal-
O My Saviour,
help me.
I am so slow to learn, so prone to forget, so weak to climb;
I am in the foothills when I should be in the heights;
I am pained by my graceless heart,
my prayerless days,
my poverty of love,
my sloth in the heavenly race,
my sullied conscience,
my wasted hours,
my unspent opportunities.
I am blind while light shines around me:
take the scales from my eyes,
grind to dust the evil heart of unbelief.
Make it my cheifest joy to study thee,
meditate on thee,
gaze on thee,
sit like Mary at thy feet,
lean like John on thy breast,
appeal like Peter to thy love,
count like Paul all things dung.
Give me increase and progress in grace so that there may be;
more decision in my character,
more vigour in my purposes,
more ELEVATION in my life,
more fervour in my devotion,
more constancy in my zeal.
As I have a position in the world,
keep me from making the world my position;
May I never seek in the creature what can be found only in the creator;
Let not faith cease from seeking thee until it vanishes into sight.
Ride forth in me, thou king of kings and lord of lords, that I may live victoriously, and in victory attain my end.
Happy Birthday! Thank you for the inspiration!
Love Always, Kristin
Thanks for all that you do! You are an inspiration and a voice for so many who have none. Take a well deserved moment to reflect on YOUR day and enjoy it to the fullest. Happy Birthday, and thanks for being exactly who you are…yourself!

Thank you fro being the voice of a generation and the soundtrack of our lives.
Much aloha.
I wish you Bono a very joyous birthday. What an awesome opportunity to give you a birthday gift that benefits you, myself and brothers and sisters I do not know. The world is a better place with you here. You have inspired me and now I know why I am drawn toward you, U2’s music and Africa. I think God is calling me to some type of action. First it was One, then the Night Walkers piece on Oprah. I went to bed haunted with the notion that those kids were walking as my kids slept upstairs well, feed, clothed. Today I checked the U2 fan site and here was Africa again.
Thank Allie also for the endless work she does with the Chernobyl work. My family escaped from Hungary during the 1956 revolution but other family members stayed and endured communism. Two of those aunts died suddenly and very young and it all points to Chernobyl.
We are all but vapors-Live life well!!!
Love,

Dear Bono,
Last time I saw you, we were waving the white flags in the land of the midnight sun. I’d like to assure you, that VertiGothenburg//2005 was a really special moment for U2’s Swedish fans – maybe your best concert here ever.
Which is as good a proof as anything that there’s nothing bad to be said about people getting older – not even rock stars. The next time I’ll see you (Honolulu?) we will both be a year older and hopefully we’re going to have the time of our life, not despite but because of that. I’ll bring the white flag if you bring the band.
In the mean time, I’d like to wish you a very happy birthday! I admire you as a musician, poet and a great singer, but I also admire your tireless efforts to try and help the poorest of the poor. You rock on so many different levels, I guess I’ll sum it up with; I admire you as a person.
Love & Peace

For all that and more, i thank you and i wish you the most BEAUTIFUL DAY for your BIRTHDAY. Thanks for what you do and what you are…

Your relentlessness is very inspiring!
We took friends of ours to your first show in Montreal last year. It was their first show (our 11th!!), and after the show they said that ” one leaves a U2 show wanting to be a better person ”
THAT SUMS IT UP!!!
Dear Bono!
Happy, happy Birthday!
Your concert in Zürich last year was the greatest moment in my live! You`re the sexiest man alive!!!!!

Bono,
I sincerly admire your compassion and devotion to the people of Africa – The world is a better place because of you.
As well, Thank-you for U2, especially for the song ‘Pride in the name of Love’. I have loved this song since 1984, and when I finally heard it live at a U2 concert – I cried. Music doesn’t get better than this.
Your amazing, have a wonderful birthday

Happy Birthday Bono! Thank you for your untiring love for humanity and the many years you’ve brought happiness to my life with your music. I can’t possibly give back to you as much happiness but hopefully with this small gift of donation and an endless promise to stand up for this situation on my part will bring you a small piece of happiness on this, your birthday. May you have a wonderful day and may the coming year see all your wishes come true.
Love, peace and blessings to you and yours always;

Happy Birthday Bono! People have asked me if your celebrity status helps affect change, and I am a personal testament to that. I did not know or care about the issues in Africa until you became passionate about them yourself. Now, I dedicate most of my free time to them. Thanks for keeping us responsible. You are the hero we need in a hero-less time.
Best Wishes,
Amie and Jonathan Glass
P.S. Thanks for all your amazing music too!

Dear Bono,
Best wishes for a happy and successful year. Thanks for all you accomplished in 2005, which happily included fulfilling my dream of seeing U2 live (MSG May 21st). I’ve been a fan since ’83 and spent my 21st birthday watching Live Aid, but I had to wait until I was 41 to make it happen. May the dreams you have on hold come true for you. All the best,
Ronda

On ne te le dira jamais assez: merci pour ce que tu fais, tu es un homme merveilleux! Tes actions pour l’Afrique ont rendu des dizaines de personnes heureuses dans ce monde, MERCI.
Ta musique est tout aussi sublime, bravo à Adam, Larry et The Edge, qui ont un talent immense. J’ai beaucoup aimé ton livre, que m’a meilleure amie m’a offert pour mes 16 ans, en le lisant j’ai découvert la sensibilité mais aussi l’arrogance d’une rock star! Ne change pas, les hommes comme toi ne courent pas les rues, je t’aime, j’aime U2, j’aime le Monde, j’aime la Vie…
Lucie, Strasbourg, France
Happiest of Birthdays to you, Bono! Thank you for being who you are. Thank you for being an inspiration in a time with a great deal of hopelessness and dispair. Thank you for giving hope to so many in Africa in need, and to so many around the world in need. Thank you for inspiring so many “music fans” to reach out where we may not have ever have dared to reach before. Thank you for touching me with your music. You have inspired me in many ways with your beautiful words. May every day of your life truly be a “Beautiful Day”. Love and Peace, Jen
Thank you Bono for being a hero of mine.
Happy Birthday, Bono! I actually got to say that to you in person last year. :o) You are a true inspiration and it’s a shame there aren’t more people like you. I cannot begin to tell you how much U2’s music has meant to me and been the scrapbook of my life. It’s been over 20 years now. You have helped me to understand a lot in this world…I cannot thank you enough. Have a wonderful birthday with your beautiful family.
Happy birthday, Bono. Hope you have a fabulous day!
Happy Birthday Bono!
Thank you for being such a ‘pest’. Thank you for the music, thank you for the inspiration, thank you for wonderful concert memories. Please do me a favor and make sure to take care of yourself, okay?
Oh and thank you for the hug outside MSG on 10/10/05 – I forgot to say thank you then because I was completely speechless by that point! 🙂
Have a wonderful birthday – and many, many more. <3
Another year older, another year greater! Have a great day!
Met you last year in Chicago on your B-day. It was the best day (and concert) of my life. Have another great year!!!
Happy Birthday Love

Bono, I´m here to congratulate you for your birthday and wish you a lot of good things for this one more year that you will pass here with us.

Happiest of Birthday wishes Bono
My wish for you is that you will always have the strength,courage and wisdom to carry on doing all of the wonderful work that you do. To always carry with you the compassion for those in the world that truly need it so that they may always know how fortunate they are to have you on their side, speaking out for those who can’t. You deserve everything good on your special day and always.
I have to tell you that I had a fabulous time at the Vertigo concert on Sept. 12/05 in Toronto, Canada-it was a blast!!! Spectacular!!
Best wishes always

P.S. Maybe you can send a very early birthday wish to Larry since we share the exact same lucky day-that right! October 31rst!! Now I have to tell you my birthday wish-To one day hear U2 perform my favorite song “All I want is you” live but that might be a long time coming since you guys don’t come to Canada very often-we will have do something about that-Canada is a great country-you should visit more often-in your spare time of, course!!!
Have an absolutely fantastic spectacular birthday!!!
Dear Bono:
I think I may be one of the only people who have not yet met you in DC on the Hill. Keep up the good work and enjoy your birthday.
The most important thing is to remember how important you are to your friends and family. From personal experience, they could be gone at any time, so always take the time to spend with them.
Debbie
Bono –
You are such a great example of not only how to give, but how to live. God gave us life to live abundantly and you do that so well. We should all take a page from your book.
Happy Birthday!
Elizabeth Beech
Happy Birthday,

Bono – Happy Birthday for a man that has inspired so many and done so much for so many more. More people in this world should look to you for inspiration and I want to say “Thank You” from the bottom of my heart for inspiring me. You are truly an impossible dream for our race and humanity.

I could be your daughter, I’m 16, but I love you for more than just that. You are a true role model for people like me who want to change the world. I love your music, I love your words, I love you for who you are and for what you’ve done to make the world better. As you said, “We are one, but we’re not the same, we get to carry each other.” With you leading the way, we can do just that. I LOVE YOU! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
You are truly inspiring. Thank you.

If this art
is not sun and rain and stars
then nothing is.
If these patterns
are not the great Tao
then nothing is.
You are nothing
but soul.
If these words
are not truth
then nothing is.
Dear Bono,
Thank you for giving all of us the twin gifts of your music and your wonderful commitment to the poor. I have never been prouder of you – or prouder to be a U2 fan. Best wishes for a very happy birthday and a spectacular year!
Love and Peace,

Happy birthday Bono! Thanks for inspiring me and the rest of the world to dream out loud. Have a great one!
Bono, c’est un plaisir pour moi de participer encore cette année à cette levée de fonds en l’honneur de ton anniversaire.
Je profite de l’occasion qui m’est donnée pour remercier U2 pour les deux très belles soirées que j’ai passées au Centre Bell le 26 et le 28 novembre dernier. J’en suis sorti le souffle coupée les deux soirs. Je vous suis très reconnaissante de m’avoir donné la chance de découvrir le groupe montéalais Arcade Fire que je ne connaissais pas très bien.
Je te laisse sur ces mots d’une chanson québecoise que l’on chante lors d’anniversaires.
”Mon cher Bono, c’est à ton tour de te laisser
parler d’amour…”. Bonne Fête!

Most bees are busy searching nectar.
But not this one.
This busy B has not found what he’s looking for just yet*
He’s hopefull he once will though.
Won’t give up.
He gives.
He gives.
He gives himself away.
Time to give something back.
To those who need it.
‘Cause sometimes you can’t make it on your own.
You say: We don’t want your money. We want your voice.
I say: Thank you for your voice.
Thank you for educating my mind, your mind, our mind, their mind.
Thank you for everything that you do.
*Equality and justice for all,
Much love,

Hi Bono,
Happy Birthday to you and your daughter Jordan!
Thank you for the wonderful music you make and that you reminded me of the people that need our support soo much!
I had forgotten about them, lived only for my own comfort, and I felt bad, very bad! But you reminded me that the reason why we are all here is to bring light into somebody elses life… – while we’re here – and now I feel good again and I hope you’ll make your “Vision 2015”!!!
Thank you Bono!
Love Ingrid
