Belated Birthday Wish

There once was a birthday wish stuck in a bog,
And when it got out it got lost in the fog.
It stumbled around and bumped into a wall,
Which made that poor birthday wish stumble and fall.
But it was important and would not give up
Even when tired, and covered in much.
So it brushed itself off and put on a smile
And walked quite a ways.  Even more than a mile.
It got lost just a bit, and climbed up a tree,
And looked all around at all it could see.
And then that good birthday wish climbed to the gground
And came to my door so that it could be found
And sent on to you, with a smile, though it's late
In the hopes that your birthday really was great!
