one more day has passed us by
another drop in the tides of time.
today, no different from the rest,
a tick on the clock and it’s in the past.

but when we’re old and looking back,
we’ll see we missed our time to act.
with every second we locked away
we missed a chance to enjoy the day.

it’s the memories we make that define our lives,
it’s who we see looking into our eyes,
the fog of time will hide most things,
but the minutes we share with our family and friends

so now is the time to have some fun,
savor each moment you have while you’re young.
this day of all days is here just for you,
so have a wonderful birthday, and remember it too.
