Birthday Girl

On the day you were born I waited outside Your mother in tears Your dad full of pride It's a girl they both shouted Come look and see And with antisipation I followed there plee I looked in the cot With you laying there A little pink bundle Wrinkled face and no hair But those days have gone And let me just say You're a pretty young woman Getting prettier each day Now your facing your future Keep your eyes on the track Keep looking forward Try not to look back Your 18 today And that is so swell Have a wonderful birthday My darling niece Michelle
