I know your birthday is coming up
And I want to send you a gift
One that will make you smile
And your spirits lift
I wish you all the good times
You can possibly obtain
Like a new sled in the snow
And galoshes in the rain
And a new dress to step out in
To make your evening bright
To dance the dance of happiness
All through the night
A shiny new red sports car
With the gas tank always filled
Oh, and a gorgeous guy, too
And diamonds, your body to gild
But alas it’s just after Christmas
Not a cent left on my card
Cash has come and gone
And without it buying’s hard
But I’ll send you what I have left
And hope it fits the bill
It’s meant with hopes and dreams
Just for your life to fulfill
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Liz !!!

Not a good thing to be born just before, during or just after the holidays. Friends always come with that empty pocket excuse
Good thing you wrote this lovely poem though, it replaces any other gifts

Hey, it's as good an excuse as any And at least my intentions were good

Thank you for reading and commenting, nilav
May your birthday hopes and dreams come true. And since Liz is so generous in giving up her presents, maybe I can pass them on to you That is if you're in to recycling

Thanks for the well wishes
not to sound ungrateful
but we are moving south, so pictures of pretty snow would suffice, and I'm a tomboy so *shrugs* I'll pass on the dress LOL
I'd settle for an old VW bug convertible- if it's purple! LOL
I've already got my gorgeous guy, my husband and father of our two kids. Not only is he a pretty man, he's well trained too!
Thank you for writing this poem even though I'm no longer an active member here!

Nice tribute. Happy birthday, Liz!..lol
All I got for my birthday was another year older, poor me..Can we have an un-birthday contest?...If not, can we just get presents?
Nice job here with your poem, very sweet too. The rhyme and flow were just flawless, and the sentiment is felt throughout.
Best of luck to you, in your contest,
enough said,
Peace
