A leaf that dwindles in the cool autumn breeze,
Seems like its dancing with such elegance and ease
That everything around it transforms into a dancing hall
And the world is ready for the festivities of fall
~
And when the leaf at last returns to earth,
The ever gracious sky hastens to give birth
To a pure, clear snowflake that falls fast
Bringing childhood memories that always last
~
The ice melts only to give way to spring,
The blossom of the flowers that shall bring
A rebirth on earth, such beauty and such joy,
While butterflies fly around with grace and coy
~
And when the sun comes closer to the land,
See the children building castles in the sand
Let the warmth and hope fill your heart
And all these seem to be life's best part
~
But I never saw the world like that before,
Never were the beauties in life so clear
Not ever until my love, you came near,
For you are all these and so much more
~
You gave me the eyes to see
Life in all its beauty and I know
That only true love can make us glow
For you are and will always be
The better part of me
~
Happy Birthday my Love.
