Happy Birthday Was Created For You

[oid]

I'll make a cake and blow up balloons
Set the candles , sixty one.

Write you a letter . Sign your card.
Hang "Happy Birthday" on a sign in your yard.

I'll play some music. Your favorite songs.
Think of you as I sing along.
I'll dance in your shadow that lingers still.
I'll make a wish. Or two or three..
Because without your Birthday there wouldn't be Me.

The rose is a rose,
And was always a rose.
But the theory now goes
That the apple's a rose,
And the pear is, and so's
The plum, I suppose.
The dear only know
What will next prove a rose.
You, of course, are a rose--
But were always a rose.
Robert Frost
