I’m wishing you another year

Of laughter, joy and fun,

Surprises, love and happiness,

And when your birthday’s done,

I hope you feel deep in your heart,

As your birthdays come and go,

How very much you mean to me,

More than you can know......

Your presence is requested at

A moment of transcendence.

The mystery of turning one

Requires your attendance.

You will accomplish something more

Than favor, fun, or duty

By witnessing the passage of

A moment of great beauty........

Birthdays are an annual excuse,

A way of saying things we ought to say.

Relatively few can sing their love

Unless they do it on some special day.

Hearts are shy, and words of little use.

But now I want to tell you that I love you,

Open up my heart and say the things

Siblings seldom say to one another

'Cause of the embarrassment it brings.

However long we live, I'll be with you......

Birthdays are the tolling of

A bell that marks the coming of

A time of festive joy and love,

A time to treasure life and love.

So come and celebrate with me

The circumstance that makes me, me:

The moment when I came to be,

And what I now have come to be.....

Each year your birthday reminds me

That I really want to say

I’m very glad I know you;

I think of you each day.

I hope you enjoy your birthday,

All the pleasures it has in store,

And because I appreciate you,

I hope you have many more!......
