God gave a gift to the world when you were born,
a person who loves, who cares,
who sees a person's need and fills it,
who encourages and lifts people up,
who spends energy on others rather than herself,
someone who touches each life she enters,
and makes a difference in the world,
because ripples of kindness flow outward.
as each person you have touched, touches others.
Your birthday deserves to be a national holiday,
for all that you've done.
May the love you have shown to others
I wish you the happiest of birthdays,
and many, many more,
so that others have time to appreciate you as much as I do.
