Happy Birthday!
A joyous day will oft reverberate,
And echoes of the joy may still be heard,
By those who came upon the scene too late
To share the moment which first hearts bestirred.
The celebration of your natal day,
Provides for those not present at your birth
A chance to raise a cup and proudly say,
How glad they are to recognize your worth.
We know your love of Life, your sparkling wit.
The hint of spice you add to lazy days;
The naughty glint with which your eyes are lit.
We revel in your caring, sharing ways.
Let this day bring abundantly to you
The joy and glee we have from knowing you.
