As the years age us,
As the earth spins on its side,
Hopefully, the twinkle stays in your eyes,
May your smile grow and grow.

As our lives become consumed with trivialities,
As the world never takes a breath,
May the jokes never stop,
I will always lend a helping hand.

As your tea becomes cold,
As your paint dries up,
May you find some solace in quieter moments,
Away from life’s bustling fury.

As Todd once said to Copper,
As Merry needs Pippin in his life,
“Will always be friends, right?”
Until the stars fade from the night.
