A birthday song

I wonder what I should give you today.
Something that will last... something that will stay?

I went through all the lovely things,
And rejoiced imagining the joys they would bring.

Then the question arose, how long they would last?
Soon they would become things of the past.

Even if they were the best of the best,
I wonder how long they will hold your interest.

So, I thought I'll gift you a beautiful smile.
One that will linger on your lips for a while.

A twinkle in your eyes that glistens like dew...
And a merry heart singing, "Happy Birthday to You!"
