Here's to!

Here’s to the new tally mark

               On your B’day wall!

To the brand new year that you embark

               And for all the memories – big and small!

Here’s to the memories

               Of the chirpy girl at school!

When life was all fun with no worries

               Like drinking from the magic pool!

Here’s to the feisty lass

               That stood a class apart!

Chasing dreams through the looking glass

               And succumbed to the matters-of-the-heart!

Here’s to the proud mother

               Of a lovely, lilting girl

Now chasing rainbows ends

               With your doll of enchanting curls!!

Here’s a B’day wish to a charming friend

               For a lovely year ahead

A wish for peace, health and happiness we send

               In the journey you’re about to tread
