"Happy Birthday"

You’ve been on this earth 

For 12 months today

I wouldn't give anything up

Or have it any other way

Your mother and I 

May never get along

But believe me when I say

You’ve never done anything wrong

I wish I could be there

To hold you tight

Your very first birthday

This just doesn't feel right

I was lucky enough to watch

Your very first breath

That day I knew

There was more to life than death

Even though I’ve missed

So many of your firsts

It was never my choice

For you, my heart bursts

I swear to you

When all is done

I’ll be right there

I’ll never run

I’ll make sure you know

My love is true

You’re Daddy’s little angel

And I’ll always love you

So again I say

I love you dear

Happy Birthday baby

I’ll always be here…
