On this day the day of your birth The day on which you took your first tentative breaths of air The day on which, like a candle being lit you fit into existence I wish you enough joy to last a life time the type to make the world stop and stare Enough smiles to so your beauty can radiate Enough love to warm your heart On this day I take joy for you For all the flutters you cause in my heart For all the happiness that envelopes me while you are in my arms For joining me on this walk of life I pass my fondest wishes on this the day of your birth And await to see a hundred more pass each filled with more joy than the last.
