Birthday
By Peter Scott
Your birthday is upon us
My love
What does one give
Of parallel worth
The perfect present does not exist
Therefore I give you none
Resolute in the decision
To pledge one’s self
Until the second I die
You are my faith
My support
Birth of myself
My tomorrow
Rear my hopes
My love
Bring ceaseless joy
And careless abandon
A smile to my face
The resolve to push on
For you are my everything
And I offer you no less
Kiss me honey
Never to be second best.
