The morning breaks with sacred light,
A hush of joy, the skies so bright.
And in this glow, my heart takes flight
Remembering you, and all that’s right.

The dew still clings to waking trees,
Like whispered songs upon the breeze.
Each shining ray, so soft, so new,
Feels like it’s pointing straight to you.

The birds are chirping something sweet,
As if your birthday's song’s complete.
But still I wait it’s almost here!
The day we celebrate you.

Though candles haven’t yet been lit,
The mood, the joy, all start to hit.
I’m in that space where hearts prepare
To shout with love, “We’re glad you’re here!”

The gifts may wait, the cake may chill,
But in my heart, I’m dancing still.
Because I know what’s soon to be
A day that’s all for you.

I picture smiles and cheerful grace,
The way joy shines across your face.
The way God’s light surrounds your name,
And wraps your life in love and flame.

You are a light, so firm, so true,
And birthdays only magnify you.
So as the hours gently pass,
I hold this hope like morning glass.

The sky expands, the joy is near,
Your birthday glow will soon appear.
And till it comes, I hold the tune
In full anticipation, like morning’s bloom.
