It is not for the years
Nor for the eons of
Never for time
But for the mirth of
growing up with you
It is not for experience
Nor knowledge of things
Never for stature
But for the joy of sharing
Thoughts with you
It is not for bravado
Nor for the acquaintance
of others
Never for glory
But for the warmth we
have for each other
I wish you nothing more
And of course nothing less
Just be as you are
And just stay as you are
It may be passe
Or some call it cliché
I love you
Happy birthday!
