A Wish For You

Happy Birthday to Kiya
Glad I don’t have to see ya.
You’d scream and yell
And beat me with your fist
So bad I’d speak with a lisp.

Happy Birthday to Kiya
Glad I don’t have to be ya.
Man or woman no one knows
Black or white what does it matter
Friend to all you deserve the flatter.

Happy Birthday to Kiya
Glad I don’t write like ya.
Never could I if I tried
Your talent is on loan from God
Always honest and true never a facade.

Happy Birthday to Kiya
Glad I’m not a stranger to ya.
Exchanging ideas and thoughts
On various topics, even the silly
Without you I’d be a dumb hillbilly.
