Beautiful Birthday Flowers In The Yards
I planted a variety of lilies in the front yard
For you, my dear friend
I utilized the skill of my right hand
To plant peppermint and lemongrass in the backyard
So we might sit there to sip our tea
Next year, when we will be a little older.
Dear friend, I will plant rows of flowers
Plants and trees that we shall enjoy for many years
We will spend many afternoons watching the roosters
Pass by as if heading to a gala under the shining stars
While drinking wines or sipping our tea
As we savor the fresh air and the beauty of Mother Nature.
It is marvelous to enjoy calmly the current time
While looking forward to the future
In the front and the backyard, where green pasture
Radiates life and celebrates our primetime.
As we grow a little older
We will continue to live it up, while sipping our tea.
Today is your birthday; you have grown older
Let us dream and look toward the future
In the front yard
And in the backyard
In the Garden of Eden
In our natural Heaven.
