Thank you for my best gift is what I pray

I play the bittersweet song as I close my eyes

You are now eleven and have come very wise

Soon we will sing that special birthday song

And then light the candles that burn so strong

When we cut the cake with lovely pink roses

I remember your sweet face as we touched noses

I promise your son will enjoy the taste

He will think of you as the tender warmth is embraced

I would get you a toy but you have no need

Instead I will tell you I love you with great heed

And when the night has finally come time to sleep

I will pet you dear kaya as you rest so deep

But what they say I know is true

I long to see you someday when we both fly in the blue

But until then happy birthday my sweet girl

Thank you, I pray, for my rarest pearl
