(For Beth, slightly belated [since this would've meant more yesterday])


Birthday Girl

She's a bird of a girl
she's the birthday girl
and I'm an early morning worm
in her claws I shake and I squirm
with a bow wrapped around me
my heartbeat racing as she smiles happily
at first sight of me
the October dew clings to her eyelashes
she always turns my insides into a pile of ashes
hope this lasts us the rest of the fall
hope she hears my clarion call
I do love her above all

I live to fill her with pure joy
'cause I'm such an awkward lover boy
her heart's like candy wrapped in fire
she drives me crazy but she takes me higher
into the clouds I soar with the birthday girl
into a new man I'm showing off to the world
and when her smile begins to curl
I'm a rocket blasting across existance
nothing's been quite the same ever since
she kicked her way into my heart
with eyes full of promises, a place to start
there's a gaping hole there when we're apart

She's a bird of a girl
she's the birthday girl
a beautiful gift to the soul
a mysterious way of making it all feel whole

She's a hell of a girl
I've 10,000,000 words to tell this girl
but I'm too shy and jangled up
to ever let it all out so I should just shut up
and wish her Happy Birthday
and a warm love to call her own
she drives me crazy but what can I say
I need that feeling in my bones
else I'm just pudding
else I'm just kidding
myself

She's a bird of a girl
she's the birthday girl
hope she hears my clarion call
I do love her above all

Love is the Very Best Gift you can give for this special Girl, For but after her Special Day--May it be well received, and your sentiments embraced.

David

Every Day's a Blessing
And Gift-Wrapped from Above,
Share it with another
And Spread the Father's Love!!!

May You come to Know His Best Blessing
