At dawn, the birthday fairies wake

their wings a dewy gleam

They gather petals, moss, and bark

to build the perfect dream

🧚🧚‍♀️🧚‍♂️🧚‍♀️🧚🧚‍♀️🧚‍♂️🧚‍♀️🧚🧚‍♀️🧚‍♂️🧚‍♀️🧚

They prepare their celebrations

where the forest meets the sky

a party stitched from sunlight

where the wildflowers lie

🧚🧚‍♀️🧚‍♂️🧚‍♀️🧚🧚‍♀️🧚‍♂️🧚‍♀️🧚🧚‍♀️🧚‍♂️🧚‍♀️🧚

They whisk up cakes of honeyed bloom

with berries crushed by hand

The frosting swirls like morning mist

that drifts across the land

🧚🧚‍♀️🧚‍♂️🧚‍♀️🧚🧚‍♀️🧚‍♂️🧚‍♀️🧚🧚‍♀️🧚‍♂️🧚‍♀️🧚

Their itty bitty forks and spoons

are carved from hearts of fallen trees

their candles glow from fireflies

who volunteer with ease

🧚🧚‍♀️🧚‍♂️🧚‍♀️🧚🧚‍♀️🧚‍♂️🧚‍♀️🧚🧚‍♀️🧚‍♂️🧚‍♀️🧚

They string up vines for garlands bright

with mushrooms as decor

They sing a tune the robins know

a soft enchanted score

🧚🧚‍♀️🧚‍♂️🧚‍♀️🧚🧚‍♀️🧚‍♂️🧚‍♀️🧚🧚‍♀️🧚‍♂️🧚‍♀️🧚

Each cap a tiny lantern lit

by glow worms curled inside

and every leaf begins to dance

unable to abide

🧚🧚‍♀️🧚‍♂️🧚‍♀️🧚🧚‍♀️🧚‍♂️🧚‍♀️🧚🧚‍♀️🧚‍♂️🧚‍♀️🧚

The games begin in open fields

where clover carpets grow

They cheer for every laughing sprite

whose joy begins to glow

🧚🧚‍♀️🧚‍♂️🧚‍♀️🧚🧚‍♀️🧚‍♂️🧚‍♀️🧚🧚‍♀️🧚‍♂️🧚‍♀️🧚

They race along on dragon flies

play hide and seek in blooms

Their giggles ringing warm and sweet

through ancient forest rooms

🧚🧚‍♀️🧚‍♂️🧚‍♀️🧚🧚‍♀️🧚‍♂️🧚‍♀️🧚🧚‍♀️🧚‍♂️🧚‍♀️🧚

And when the birthday child arrives

the fairies gather near

They crown them with a wreath of light

to bless another year

🧚🧚‍♀️🧚‍♂️🧚‍♀️🧚🧚‍♀️🧚‍♂️🧚‍♀️🧚🧚‍♀️🧚‍♂️🧚‍♀️🧚

Their wings a shimmering chorus

in the sunny afternoon

They whisper wishes soft enough

to float up to the moon

🧚🧚‍♀️🧚‍♂️🧚‍♀️🧚🧚‍♀️🧚‍♂️🧚‍♀️🧚🧚‍♀️🧚‍♂️🧚‍♀️🧚

For birthdays in the fairy realm

are more than simple days

They're a celebration shared by all

in gentle woodland ways

🧚🧚‍♀️🧚‍♂️🧚‍♀️🧚🧚‍♀️🧚‍♂️🧚‍♀️🧚🧚‍♀️🧚‍♂️🧚‍♀️🧚

They're moments stitched with natures love

and magic woven tight

Where every heart is lifted

by another creature's light

🧚🧚‍♀️🧚‍♂️🧚‍♀️🧚🧚‍♀️🧚‍♂️🧚‍♀️🧚🧚‍♀️🧚‍♂️🧚‍♀️🧚

Happy Birthday, Tim!

I hope you have an incredible day and a fruitful and amazing year!
