Your Special Day

(Dedicated to Danielle Bryant) It's your special day And I have so much to say. Oh that time will let me, There are thousands of things to make you see: The happy times, Lengthening with the clock's chimes; The beautiful talks we exchanged, Never believing there could be a change; The midnight conversations, Smiles on our faces our only compensation; Our dreams and hopes, The only reason we could cope. Those moments we spent together Are memories I'll cherish forever; Memories I can look at and smile, Knowing they are reasons to aim high. Oh if I could do more than just words And not pull memory chords! It's your special day And my own very special way Of wishing a happy birthday To a friend who just walked away.
