If I could, I'd build you a special place,
With laughter, presents, and good cheer.
Somewhere to put a smile on your face,
And dash away the traces of a tear.
If I could, I'd send over to you,
A thousand chuckles all in one,
Wrapped with care, and ribbons too,
Of golden rays taken from the sun.
If I could, I would prepare,
An angel to sit by your side,
And listen, when you need to share,
The worries you keep bottled up inside.
A birthday gift, this would be,
If I could give you anything,
A special present just from me,
To your birthday, I would bring.
But I can only offer you,
Some words of peace and trust,
And know this birthday wish is true
For you to enjoy it, is a must
For today, is a special one,
Although to you it may not seem,
For when all is said and done
You've lived another day;
Conquered another dream.
Author notes
Happy Birthday Hollie
I hope, against hope, that maybe a little dream will come true for you today

Oh lass...
You have a poets heart...
it's as big as the ski....
So sincere and heartfelt.....
The great rhythm of the piece is equaled to the warmth that it brings.
I especially like the third stanza....
Me mum used to tell me....
Liam....
Write something grand,
for you may be
entertaining angels,
Unaware.
You have indeed entertained yours.
Bless you little gypsy,
Liam

This is very sweet - although if I were you
I will send the presents in a box with ribbon
to make her smile and feel loved
everytime she open the box,
as I will put her favorite things ...and
some word of peace and trust in
a beautiful card for her to read it everyday.
Beautiful poem - thanks for sharing

This is sweet - I'd say it's better than the birthday poem I wrote! Good job, I bet Hollie will LOVE this. My favorite part is the angel; that's a really sweet idea. The ending is perfect; conquered another dream.

it is in no way better than the one you wrote [glaresatbriefly] and don't let me hear you saying that again it's the thought that counts anyway; and yours, IMHO was more meaningful 'cause it was free written whereas mine concentrates on rhyme as well as meaning - maybe a little more superficial

The rhyme makes it better - my flow isn't good. Draw?
