Happy Birthday

Happy birthday

the sun lights the world 

 your smile lights my heart 

 the flower grows in the garden
 
 you grow in my heart 

 people see you grown up now

people see you big and tall now

  I see a little baby till now 

 I remember you crawling 

 I remember you smiling

 I remember you crying and laughing
 
 I remember you walking 

 I remember you talking 

 many years passing

 I remember all by watching 

 I remember all by loving 

 you move from place to place 

 in my heart your in the same place

 when you are mad acting bad 

 when you are silly acting folly

 when you are kind acting lovely

 your love always remains holy 

 be kind be wise do right 

 be brave be strong never hide 

 be proud of who you are 

 make me proud stay who you are

 HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
