A Belated Birthday Wish (Written for a Friend)

There once was a birthday wish meant just for you,

It was happy, but flighty you see.

And so as that birthday wish headed your way,

It simply got stuck in a tree!


A sweet tweety bird picked it up to help out

But carried it so far away

That your great happy birthday wish was a bit lost.

That wish, with its kind things to say.


It knew it was for you, and it couldn’t be stopped

It looked for you both high and low.

And finally the birthday wish had an idea

Of exactly the way it should go.


So here it is late, though still happy and flighty,

Knowing good wishes always are wanted.

I hope it brings joy, whether tiny or mighty.

After all of the places it jaunted.
