For the Girl Who Has Everything

Thirty candles now top off your cake

This party tonight must feel like your wake

You’ve dreaded this day with each somber tear

Oh, how you’ve mourned for this passing year!

~

Look at the flame on the candles that burn

There’s so much from flame we could all learn

They flicker and dance to give off their light

They’ve lived for today to make your life bright

~

You have a flame that lives on in you

Forever shining your whole body through

You’ve done great things in the life you that you live

For yours is a soul that cheers when you give

~

You’ve brought to this world a great little boy

Who loves his dear mother and gives her his joy

But three other boys have needed you too

To help them cope with what they’ve been through

~

You play your part in this circle of love

And that is your gift from your Father above

He smiles down from somewhere up high

You’ll feel Him here now if you’ll only try

~

So cherish your day and think what you’ve got

You’ve more gifts than mere gold could’ve bought

For yours is a family where kisses are free

And there’s always a hug from the 4 boys and me!
