Birthday’s come but once a year
The times for parties, gifts, and cheer
Where dainty smiles adorn all faces
And cards each saying little graces
Everyone present here will pledge
To this wholly pleasant privilege
In sign of gratitude to our host
We all would like, to dedicate this toast!!
“That joy and happiness may always rest
Upon the celebrated personage!!
That hopes and dreams not yet come true
Might be given once more a chance anew!!”
“That blessings and health
may be ones constant companion,
Fulfillment and Love also
to follow in due fashion!!”
We clap and hurray!! All’s pleasant this night
To be here in our hosts company, as the star lit night-
Shines, on the excited guests here to witness this celebration
Of something much more than a mere graduation
Even the trees, they all as one rejoice
As the wind blows through, changing its course
The moon even seems to take a liking
As its smile beams a soft, yellow lighting
But nothing radiates brighter
than the smile on the face
of the one who is most happy
where all beauty is encased
We all hope this day lives
On through another year
“This day once more a commemoration”
We shout and clink our beers
And if God sees our blessed company
Let Him too, be well pleased-
As all of us, and heaven all
For He knows and foresees
The special purpose of the one
He made by His own hand
A little sparkling diamond of dust
That one day will be grand
It matters not the accomplishments
That may or may not come about
Only of the love-filled, kind-hearted things
Will we promise to tell of and shout.
Today is near gone, it’s as good as past
Tomorrow is what counts, do things that will last
It may not make headlines on through history
But it will live on more firmly in our memories
The final words to proclaim before dawn
Are, “we’ll never forget you even if you’re gone”,
“You’ve already left you’re mark on this world,
The ones in our hearts, you’re special, Girl!!”

Pon, I can't believe u did all this! Why, when I forgot your birthday! I'm entirely unworthy, but u totally made my day, thank u!
Been super busy & I leave w/ the team for PEP tomorrow, so I don't know if we'll actually celebrate anything tonight, or if it'll wait till we get back, but even if we skip it altogether, your poem's celebration enough!
I love u & pray that all those wonderful things in your toast to me will come right back & engulf U in your new year! Have a terrific one!
Why? I think it's simply cus you mean a lot to me and I really love you. Did you get Jesse's call? I hope it went alright, if anything was bad it's my fault and not his ok?
Haha, yeh, I got it; it went fine (just don't ever do that again!), poor guy! I really love u, too, even though that part of the birthday was a little much! (Not mad at u, tho'; I just prefer calls when it's the person's own idea to call. :)
well next time I'LL just call then.
