Birthday Song
Happy day! For a birthday song;
My kindly mother-friend lifelong.
We celebrate another year;
A celebration of good-cheer!
I’d give you trees of sapphire fruit;
I’d play for you a magic flute;
I’d pluck from heaven all her stars,
‘Til in our joined hands they’re ours.
My only gift in poverty -
A song to sing your charity
That loads with gifts my sunlit way
To celebrate this summer day!
Happy day! For a birthday song;
Through the beautiful days and long,
The seasons brought another year,
But still the happy summer’s here!
I love you!

for my birthday :) How lucky am I?
Very lucky. 'Course, he's lucky too.
ReplyDeleteIncredibly lucky, Sherry. Blessed.
ReplyDeleteWhat a priceless gift he gave you, Sherry! Can't beat that.
ReplyDeleteThe third stanza displeased me, so I rewrote it:
ReplyDeleteMy only gift in poverty -
A song to sing your charity
That fills with gifts my empty hands,
And plants a rose where summer stands.
Now, it's perfect!
Yes you are so blessed...such a beautiful birthday gift!
