Happy Birthday

I wish I was there the day you were born

To see you brand new yet old to this world

I'm sure you were noisy, busy and hungry for life

I'm certain you were already out thinking the rest

Trusting of this world and being your best

...you stayed, and into this world you played

The day you were born I was three

And at three I knew what love was and I would have recognized you

I'd want you then as I want you now

All familiar, funny, warm and annoying

I'd pick you up and take you away

To my little space in my heart

I'd wait for you to walk and I'd wait for you to talk

Because I did...
