Each year we gather, hearts entwined,
To celebrate the passage of time,
With laughter and joy, memories bind,
Birthdays mark a journey so sublime.

Candles flicker, wishes take flight,
Reflecting dreams in the soft glow,
A moment of pause in the moonlight,
Life’s blessings in a gentle flow.

Gifts exchanged, wrapped in love,
Tokens of affection, heartfelt and true,
Each one a whisper from above,
A promise of a future, bright and new.

So here’s to the days that lie ahead,
Each birthday a new beginning,
With every step, a path well tread,
In the circle of time, forever spinning.
