BIRTHDAY, A TIME FOR REJOICING
(In dedication to Elena Zaragoza Escubio)
It's still dawntime of your birthday
And the celebration has begun
One by one, all well-wishers come
To bring you gifts and joyful greetings.
As you mark this day with gratitude
In thanking God for all He blessed:
Good health, long life and dreams fulfilled
There's nothing left, but room for more.
Hold your peace, enjoy the feast
With loved ones gathering by your side
Love, honour and respect, they bestow
To you, their loving mother, whom they adore.
A rejoicing with candles blow
A blast of icing on the snow
A trimming of flower bells
Atop on round circle, so sweet a treat.
May this day of your jubilation
Adds a new page to a memory
A very special moment grand
Be yours to keep as years go by.
