Today is your birthday

a time when wishes come true,

a card, a cake, a present, a party

are all awaiting you

These are things you would expect

on this auspicious day,

but my gift to you would be a special one

in each and every way

I’d offer you the beauties of nature,

the sunset, the flowers, the rainbow;

gift-wrapped, sealed and delivered with care

as you deserve them so

So when this day passes

and the days and months go by

Just look out any window

and my gifts will still be there,

as the clouds are in the sky.
