May your birthday be filled with joys from the heart
With beauty and wonder from the very start
May astonishment linger the entire day through
Leading all your dreams to find their way to you
May sadness be farther than three worlds away
As sunshine and pleasure serve to rule the day
May your celebration be a grand success
Happy birthday, my friend; may your life be blessed.
May your birthday memories last throughout the year
Providing you with unending times of cheer
May blue skies shine on you to lighten your load
While your heart is warmed by the love you are owed
May every sunset find your soul at peace
As you count your gifts; may their bliss never cease
So, you’ll always realize your wisdom and worth
While living each moment of your time on earth.
May your birthday be filled with family and friends
And calm that shall last, long after your day ends
May you never doubt, when your birthday is passed
The delight, throughout, was intended to last
May you bask in comfort beneath the moon’s glow
This day and each after, may you always know
Your life is a treasure of wealth to behold
Best wishes, my friend; may a great year unfold.
