May the candles burn
on your birthday
to make the morning
become as exciting as you sweetest dream.
Let the joy flow all day long
while you celebrate the magic of being fifteen.
And on your special time of celebration
have a chance to find extra laughter
from all the loving surprises
that you deserve to come your way.
Now dance to your favorite songs,
remember every heart pounding scene,
which a movie gave you
while your mind waltzed to a daydream melody.
Tomorrow will bring what you hope for most
including Prince Charming riding his gallant white steed.
It will happen when cupid finishes his archery lessons,
so sleep in the land of hope's sunrises until he is done.
Not to leave you with any worries,
all of that was given as the jewels
to fill your night's necklace in diamonds of smiles.
However, circumstance does have a sense of humor
so you should also know,
Prince Charming has been delayed in visiting
because his armor was recalled,
rumor is they found uranium in the metal as reason for it being shining.
Plus his stallion is also having problems,
government working on pollution standards for animals,
haven't got bugs work out on smog check system
But never fear he'll arrive soon enough
though maybe wearing a jogging suit and driving a rented compact car.
Hope these verses gave you a few smile
as prelude to all the wonderful things that you birthday will bring.
