I hope today is jubilant celebration Of a boy we watched grow up Into a man made of liquid gold I hope today you eat cake with your best friends I hope today it takes you seemingly forever to blow out the candles Because you have everything and everyone you could wish for I hope today you laugh until your ribs hurt And smile until your cheeks collapse Onto the firm bed of your jaw line, weak with exhaustion I hope today when the sun has gone down And the moon casts iridescent shadows on the patch of Pacific You hear every night crashing outside your bedroom window That you crash too into your memory foam pillow Feeling the weight of love this world has for you We admire more than your pretty face and rich brown curls Your emerald eyes emit a light of their creation Your hands covered in rings I don’t believe to have hurt any living thing Your lungs with strength incomparable Sing loud emotions we feel but didn’t have the courage to speak Your heart is brave, beats hard, loves deep And moves mountains with the overflowing kindness pulsing in your veins I hope today you never forget you are loved by a million I hope today you get a kiss from your number one Golden Boy, Happy Birthday, my love
