Birthday wishes

[ancientmai]

Dedicated to Kat on her twenty-fourth birthday:
For as long as I can remember
I’ve been looking for a friend like you,
Someone with a head like yours,
And a torso, too.

Happy Freakin' Birthday

Birds sing songs
About the beauty in your soul
And your mind
Which isn’t bad at all

It’s housed inside a head
That’s radiant like the sun
And you know that though the years have gone
Your journey’s just begun

So enjoy your birthday this year
I pray it won’t be your last
And hopefully the next ears
Will be much better than those in the past

You’ve got a lot
Of things to be proud of
You’ve come so far
For someone who’s so young

Your life’s been no picnic
At least it’s been fun, right?
Well, if anything, remember, kid
Your future’s looking bright

So enjoy your birthday this year
I pray it won’t be your last
And hopefully the next ears
Will be much better than those in the past

Nobody likes getting any older
At least, that’s how they feel deep down inside
But it if weren’t for mortality
Nudging gently in our minds
How would we even know that we’re alive?

So enjoy your birthday this year
I pray it won’t be your last
And hopefully the next ears
Will be much better than those in the past

So happy birthday!
Hope you had some fun this year
And that you feel the love
From those who hold you dear

A little contrived, I know, but I hope you like it anyway. And thanks for the sparkling wine!
