Out of 365 days of the year there is one day when everyone is a celebrity
On that day you are the star of your own dream; sign your autograph for your fans
Numerous Facebook write-ups all announcing the anniversary of your birth
Today Mummy remembers the theatre room, the pains and then the joy of the gift that is you.
Dad sets the candles each representing a year that you came into, saw and conquered.
His heart is heavy with emotion as he remembers the first of the candles that was your birth year
He had stayed beside mummy and whispered Words of encouragement as she screamed in pain
Held her and reminded her that good things as rare as you seldom come easy
Your guardian angel blows the candle with you and listens to your wish.
This is one day of the year that even God cannot say no to your request
He remembers how he cradled you unseen in your crib and every year from then onwards
Today he will grant the wish of this child who heaven and earth have gathered to celebrate this day.
Drinks and food are everywhere as everyone congratulates you for being born.
You are a gem and that is why friends and family have made this special for you
Maybe everyday they are not always telling you how much you mean to them
But today feel the love in their “HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!”
