Birthday star

What was in my wish set before my eyes,

was this always the image of life growing?

The stars seen within my eyes are true,

as the gift I always wanted is made.

She sits before me with smiles on her heart,

says mommy when she needs something.

So many times now to look forward to,

so many nights where perfection knows my name.

I get to hold such an angel in my arms,

so young and fragile in my strength.

A mothers wish for who I have in you,

smiling down on my heart with dreams of life.

Was this always my wish growing up,

or did my wish come to me after I had found you?

No amount of years to take my baby’s youth away,

just pictures of how we grew together in love.

I feel the essence of desire on her heart,

she sings to fairies that fly around.

She loves cookies and candy and calls me friend,

plays with me when she knows I am down.

Lifting up my love to this wish on my star,

Happy Birthday dreams born inside of my heart.
