Birthdays give birth to celebration
A day that is all your own
Your friends get to show appreciation
For kindness you have shown

Friendship cannot be underestimated
These bonds define our spirit
A testimonial that success is overrated
Unless somehow we share it

You’ve been a supporter, mentor and friend
Words cannot express my respect for you
And so this Birthday I must send
Appreciation for all the things you do
I wish you great health and happiness
And may your journey never end
I can simply tell you this
I’m glad that you’re my friend
