Happy birthday

Heyyyyyy! Happy birthday!
I hope your day is going good so far.
Even though this moment is the last
Part of the day I’ll consider “your day.”

Uh, here’s a gift—just for you!
I put in the considerable amount of time.
I hope you shop where everyone shops.
Here’s a gift card to Target, Walmart…Amazon?
I guess it matters that you made it around
The sun one more time. Cheers!

Hello! (What’s his name?) How are you?
It’s been so long since I last saw you.
I must’ve been what… Five? Six? Seven?
Do you still remember me for my slobber?

I got a gift for you even though I don’t know you.
But you know everything about my childhood.
I guess my mom couldn’t stay off Facebook.
Oh, yeah, that cool trip to California I took?
That was over seven years ago but still relevant for you.
I promise to see you soon even if it’s in ten years.

Heyyy! Happy birthday, friend!
I’m glad you’re still here with me.
Though death isn’t something we discuss.
So, let’s talk about that when we’re dying fast.

I got you a gift to celebrate your new number.
I know you love listening to this artist.
Here are two tickets to their next show.
I didn’t get the tickets super close if you’re concerned.
No one can afford to get something so personal.
I hope you have a lovely day! I’ll see you later!

Hey baby! How’s my little girl doing? Happy birthday!
I baked your favorite waffles this morning.
Here, let me put on some cartoons for you.
We gotta get ready for your awesome birthday party.

I still can’t believe how much you’ve grown.
It’s amazing to watch you learn.
I got you enough gifts to see your eyes shine.
But my bank account felt the pain.
Let’s not dwell on the negatives now.
I gotta provide for you the most I can.

Hey. I know it’s been too long. Happy birthday.
I still try to call when I get the chance.
I see you’ve kept up with the lovely place.
I gotta get you that ticket to your grandkid’s game.

I know you have almost everything you could’ve asked for.
It gets harder and harder to think of something to give.
Just one more year; hold on there, darling.
I still want your voice in my ear for a while.
I got you something. I know you need nothing.
But everyone could use a gift from the heart.

Hey.
It was a pain to get here today.
I cried on the way here a few times.
I just can’t believe you’re not with me anymore.

Um. Happy birthday.
You would’ve been 95 today.
How’s Grandpa? Is he there with you?
I hope everything is peaceful.
I don’t know what else to say.
I just hope your day is going good so far.
