I know it isn't ordinary
Aware it's not necessary
Not a typical routine
And something you may have never seen.

But today is my birthday
Something I do dare to share

Because I remember it well

I am not sure where I was born
Was it in Texas ? Was it Vermont?
Was I raised in Brooklyn County? Or maybe another country

But for sure I remember it well

The street where I lived was amused
Or was it the street of Hermon?
*** I am a little confused
Where I lived after I was born

But I remember it well.

I exchanged messages with ***, the newsy,
Amalia and Dalia, Gallia and Talia
And Peter and Teddy, and Geter and Freddy
I met friends all over.
A poet, a lawyer, nice pictures, and posters
Young friends, sweet babies and also proud mothers

I remember it well

So Happy Birthday to me,

The other morning I can't forget.
When you were hiding behind your bed,
And the sun's light made your eyes so wet,
Your face were so nice, sweet, but sad.

When my name you just heard, you breath like little stopped
You held my hands; your face was so cold
From your eyes few tears just dropped,
Into my hand, how sad was your world.

So many days have passed since then.
Both my hands became so weak.
But your eyes  became so nice
You always used to smile.
.
I love you so much my Beth
I am so proud of you, this much I can tell
I'll remember you Beth never forget
If not, my name is not Raphael

Don't be bitter about me.
My sons are so nearby.
Don't ignore me, be sweet to be.
Then all my life will be so bright

What your wish is Beth, just let me know.
The seven years have already gone.
Only one hour is left, so fast, and not so slow
The garden gates will close,
No more your sun will shine.

It is already after midnight.
The sky is little dark.
The moon is far, not too much bright
And we together are counting the stars.

The moon is still shining.
There is still time to love.
We hear few babies are crying.
We see the stars are smiling above.

Let it continue this way forever! The charm should never stop
Lovers don't want early risers. Who want the early dawn?
We want to hold each other, just the two of us and simply hope
Let the affection, the romance love continues on and on

In few hours a new day will begin.
And the city will again be in motion.
The birds will star to sing.
The flowers will show their emotions.

People will greet each other.
Elevators will go up and down.
For lovers it may be little tougher.
Traffic will move uptown, downtown.

We want to love at night and let the days be a little shorter
The others will fall asleep and they will feel just alright
The birds will hide in the their nests and the world will be just in good order
But both of us will love again, today and in the next midnight.

— The End —
