To That Special Sweetheart

I figure I could honor you with these fresh
Flowers to form my heart's true delight in praise
I keep desire like butterflies in a mesh
For birthdays such as yours, to litter your days

With happiness. Drink then of gladness good wine
May your birthday magic like diamonds shine
Filling your heart with brightness and with peace
May you live long, and love's kindness never cease
