My Gift To You

Being You means that every day should be a celebration

Today is extra special because it’s the day you took your first breath and

You deserve all that is breathtakingly beautiful in the universe

If you let me, there is nothing in the world I won’t do to give it to you

But for now I’ll keep writing you these poetic verses

When a writer falls in love with you, you live forever

So I gift you immortality on your birthday

If my melodic sonnet shows you how amazing you are

My rhapsodic lyrics have served their purpose

I want the world to see you how I see you

May they one day feel what I feel whenever I am near you

Beyond handsome your whole being is beautiful, I see your worth

Not even close to what you deserve, just an homage to you on your day of birth.
