It's come to my attention
so I really have to say--
I wish you a "Happy Birthday"
on this auspicious birthing day.

You thought I had forgotten?
Impossible... don't fear!
So now I'm going to do it
and lift a glass of cheer!

I send you all my best today
and God's nearness always, dear.
I pray that you are truly blessed
all throughout the year!

Of course, I have a birthday song,
so everyone, please, sing along....
