Happy Birthday

How many wishes will come true
Around the time you celebrate?
Perhaps only one or maybe two…
Pretty cards and silken ribbon bind
You to the ones that do.


Beautiful memories of celebrations past
Increase as the day advances.
Rising with the sun to follow along,
Taking you tenderly into the night.
Happiness and friends combine, making music,
Dance away the day while you can
Add to your trail of life, of love and of years.
Years lost to all, but memory.
