Can hardly write through vales of tears
But somehow needed and wanted to hear
Other years, celebrating congratulates
‘there’s a jolly good fellow’
Long past the gate and key of the door
But who was keeping score
Not I nor you
Just living in days is what we’d do
But today can’t share your favorite meal of chow mein
Or a cake with candles to blow
Or a present of sweets and soft caramels
Or some cologne of your favorite smell
But if teardrops could turn into diamonds
All sparkled with glitter and shine
And sparkle their way, far, far, beyond stars
I could maybe reach out with these
Gems from my heart
And wish you a Happy Birthday
