'Twas on this day, some years ago
There came a blessed event,
Because that day a child was born,
And she was heaven sent.

Then as she grew she blessed the lives
Of friends and family,
And blossomed into womanhood
For all the world to see.

Her zest for life and charming ways
Have made so many smile,
And though she's had her challenges
She's walked the extra mile.

Now on this very special day
It's her I'm thinking of.
I wish her Happy Birthday and,
Much happiness and love.
