MANY MANY HAPPY RETURNS OF THE DAY 
MELTING EYES
Do you remember the time?
Trekked forests; mountains climb.
Witnessed gorgeous sight,
Friendship smiles, true delight.
Made it through, many years,
Mutually conquered, deepest fears.
Trials, tested, on occasion,
Inner struggles, surprise invasion.
Growth and change, rarely predict,
Our friendship, time has picked.
Moments frozen; timeless bond,
A birthday wish shines beyond.
Happy birthday, who would have thought?
Inside the box, guess what I brought!
I’m sure you’ll like it, more as you age,
You are the focus, on center stage.
All these years, memories created,
I did not choose, we’re simply related.
Knowing you, like the back of my hand,
Remember the time, we played in the sand?
I picked it myself, decision was clear,
Once you see it, I’m expecting a Cheer!
I know you will need them, on your Adventures,
Inside the box, a new set of dentures!
