Warm hearts do not grow old though you are a year older today
You are rather a year wiser, I would say
Even as you watch, the pages of your person unfurl
Telling the stories of both your struggles and passions
Punctuate the celebration of your day with a victory leap
For you do deserve the best
I hope my brother bought you a matching beautiful cake
To signify the sweetness you brought into the clan
So that among us you could claim your stake
And show all who care that you are awake
I hope you have all the lovely presents today
Presented as a reminder that time does not go on vacation
The wise will always redeem it; fools will demean it!
