Happy 19th Birthday Dearest Daughter

"Happy Birthday" means much more
Than have a happy day.
Within these words lie lots of things
I never get to say. It means I love you first of all,
Then thanks for all you do.
It means you mean a lot to me,
And that I'm proud of you.
But most of all, I guess it means
That I am thinking of you
on this very special day,

Happy Birthday.

Celebrate the miracle
Of all that makes you YOU.
Count a blessing for each candle
Have your cake and eat it too!
Unwrap this day and savor it
And all the love that's there
Send a dream-wish straight to
Heaven on the wings of prayer
Remember what a blessing you are
Even after this day is gone.
You're a gem, a priceless treasure
Let yourself shine on!
