Struggle with the words I'd Like to Write

I struggle with the words I could write,
Something that could describe you just right,
However there isn't’t one that could capture it right,
For even I can’t seem to understand what I want to write,

There are so many beautiful words that people have used to wish you tonight,
I keep tearing up pages because all the words sound so clichéd,
All my words seem like feelings already conveyed,

How do I portray you,
Because with words,
I can’t seem to describe the many qualities you show,
The love and caring nature that you share with those who know,
As every poem in this contest shows,
How can I describe a person whose beautiful right down to their soul,
And whose comments seem more poetic then the poems I call my own,

As I look at your picture and deeper into your deep set eyes,
I see a soul that has learnt to skate very well on life’s thin ice,
And so every time someone finds their life on very thin ice,
You are able to give some really cool poetic advice,
This helps their chin up in this game that we call life,

I keep struggling with words in my mind,
Trying to search and find,
Words that can express exactly what I feel in this heart of mine,
But there isn't’t one that captures it just right,

Maybe because,
There are so many beautiful words that people have used to wish you tonight,
That there really is nothing that I could write,
Try as I might,
All I can say tonight,
Is Happy Birthday, I hope that is alright,
