I sat before the empty page Thoughts of you filled my mind, But feelings are not easily conveyed With pen and paper to define.
I thought of your birthday drawing near I wondered what I could offer you, That in any way could begin to compare To the gifts you’ve given your whole life through.
So my gift to you, my precious Seems quite quaint and insufficient, But it’s all that I am or have of worth Which can be given from a distance.
My gift consists of wishes rare Raised from the depths of my heart, Reinforced by prayer sent to His ear From my knees within the dark.
I wish for you happy times, good friends Your days encompassed by laughter, I wish for you good health, long life And forbid your dreams to shatter.
I wish for you an eternal light's glow To brighten your every moment, So darkness cannot seed and grow To cause you pain or bring you torment.
I wish for you your heart’s desire Whatever it may be, A genuine love intensely afire Which endures eternity.
So Happy Birthday, Buddy My gift of wishes I give to thee, Please accept them as given, pure and true And in your heart forever keep.
