It’s true that most birthdays always did bore me
I think I may enjoy this one a little bit more, see?
With all due respect please don’t take this too sorely
It’s just the fact that you’re one year closer to 40
—
May every step be full of peace
As your special day draws near
Your last birthday was quite the joy
I hope you have the same this year
—
Make a wish
Eat some cake
(Be careful with the wish you make)
If you’re squinting just to read this page
You’ve officially reached middle age
—
I remember when you were 9
Later watched you turn 18
You never failed to shine
Even through all the years between
A few years later, 27
The joys of playful 20s heaven
I now embrace your youthful tricks
I’m excited for the next 36
—
Open gifts and have a ball
Take some photos for the wall
Reminisce just for kicks
Congrats on turning 36
—
When thinking of just who you are
Sometimes I go back to the past
Who knew we’d ever get this far?
It seems as though we’ve grown up fast
—
I heard it’s your birthday
Wow, how divine!
I’m just as excited as if it were mine
I do have one question that’s stuck in my mind:
Are you still telling people you’re just 29?
—
Have fun at your party
Go wild at your bash
This wish is your present
(I ran out of cash)
—
Your birthday is here
I almost forgot
I hope you enjoy the gifts that I bought
I picked them up, I was not too late
If I find out my efforts were just all for naught
Then I hope your birthday is still just as great
—
May your day be perfect
May your year be bright
May every wish be granted
To your heart’s delight
—
Time sure seems to speed on by
I really don’t know how
While that thought does make me sigh
I just think of how OLD you are now
—
Go all out in celebration
Revel in joy and elation
If there’s one request that I may make:
Could you save me just one piece of cake?
—
Don’t feel bad, you’re getting older
You really shouldn’t care
At this age you can’t complain
You still have all your hair!
—
What gift is just your style?
I promise I did try
Though I thought for quite a while
I didn’t know what to buy
—
I’m very proud to witness
The person you became
For all the years to come
I hope you stay the same
—
Your birthday’s here again
So let your spirit shine
Best wishes on your special day
…Be sure to remember mine
—
Another year gained
Rules of life explained
One more opened door
Now take flight and soar
—
A new age of growth and wisdom
This is just the start
I wish you love and more
From the bottom of my heart
—
You’re 36 today
What an amazing place to be
My favorite part about it is
You’re much older than me
—
Many birthdays passed
I’ve known you for a while
And just like the last
I hope today is full of smiles
