Happy Birthday !

If wishes were beasts, to your house today,
The following would make their eager way....


The old elephant grey, nodding his head
He has no crown, but bears wisdom instead,
Gently he’ll bless you, too regal to play,
Nodding his head, the old elephant grey.

The tortoise comes too, with slow steps plodding,
Careful and slow, he resists all prodding,
Patience and fortitude he’ll bring to you,
With slow steps plodding, the tortoise comes too.

Here the peacock twirls, in glorious prance,
Pure beauty displayed in colourful dance,
Let eyes feast on the graceful turns and whirls,
In glorious prance, here the peacock twirls.

The speckled pigeon flies, from home in trees,
With olive branch, for harmony and peace,
Soft coos of greeting, the gift a surprise,
From home in trees, the speckled pigeon flies.

The canary yellow, charms all with song,
The sun has promised to shine all day long,
This year to come shall be kind and mellow,
Charms all with song, the canary yellow.

Today is just for you, dear Garden Girl,
You are a great person, a perfect pearl,
May you find happiness in all you do,
Dear Garden Girl, today is just for you.
