My Friend

This verse I write just comes to say
I hope you have a special day
Today you celebrate the day you were born
That day the Angels gathered and blew their horns
They all took turns to give you special gifts
And blessed your birth then sealed it with a kiss
The Gods were present and watched over it all
They knew this child was special to be shared by all
I thank the Gods and Angels each one
Because they let us share their blessed one
They sent you down from the heavens above
So you could share with us your friendship and love
If there was any doubt the Angels existed
One meeting with you would put all doubt in the distance
What I’m trying to say within my verse
To me you’re an Angel
And I bless the day of your birth
