Happy Birthday, Friend! - A Birthday wish

What do I wish for thee? 

A little love, a little envy 

A little sorrow, enough joy. 

Someone to live for 

An ideal to die for 

This, I wish for thee. 


A home to call your own 

A heart that beats for ye 

Warm bread on the plate 

And a view that suits the eye. 

This, I wish for thee. 


Farsightedness to see 

life's ephemerality 

Yet to know the joy 

brought by a butterfly 

This, I wish for thee. 


What do I wish for thee, 

All eternity.

Thank you kj! Yes, he loved it! He had asked for a hand made card, so I wrote an original vintage style piece, hand calligraphed it, and presented it.
