Happy Birthday!

As simple as can be
Standing tall for the world to see
My bestie with a heart of gold
Radiating love untold

I admire your tenacity and grit
It’d be rewarded by God the great
Life may have been as empty as air
If you’re not here to care

Though you’re afar
We are more at par
Calls with you seem so short
But the clock gives a clear report

Your birthday is a special day
May it gift you joy in every way
Just reflect and start anew
I wish your dreams come true

Happy birthday to you
Sending hearty cheers your way
Let’s pop the wine
And happily dine
