I remember this day, today back then
Every tiny detail; life would begin
For me that is; bundle of joy of mine
For me that is; until the end of time
Only I to celebrate your entry
Into the world we’ll reside as friendly
Never have felt more pain, fear, joy, and pride
Heart of gold, yet a whirlwind set in stride
Special I knew, esoteric you curled
Twelve years past, your light still graces this world
A smile that cures faces of the unknown
Beautiful flowers blossom as you’ve grown
Still you marvel most, all with your smile
The spark you have left with such style
Now you’re twelve and have the world, so it’d seem
A better life for you is what I dream
I love you, from the first moment on
Discovery sets paths to which we’re drawn
You’re my life, true love, pain, and suffering
All wrapped together; worth it for loving
A birthday wish to you, my heart hands down
Your happiness is, to what I am bound
