Oh how quickly time goes by
when just last year you were shorter.
It's funny how you can age a year overnight
from one day to the next but still,
it takes a long time to get to 20 from 9.
Take your time,
skip some rocks across the water.
Listen to the crickets in beautiful song.
Make friends with a cat or two
while you watch CSI.
Bring a friend to watch Charlotte's Web
oh yeah, and chocolate chip cookies.
You can read "Anne of Green Gables"
more than once.
Make your school notebooks
look something like this
I Love Kenny Chessney Practice writing your name in cursive in the air
against the sky with your favorite color blue.
Yes, the color blue is special to you,
it makes you look up to the sky,
learn all you can of the stars and science.
Much has changed in one short year
things are constantly changing,
but every October 29th it's the same,
happy birthday wishes will come your way.
Happy Birthday Sunshine Princess.
