You are as young as the night,

but as wise as an owl

you have the heart of a lion,

but a lone wolves howl

 

you are as beautiful as any sunset,

as sweet as any smile

you are as fun as any game,

and as constant as any mile

 

you are as strong as a giant,

yet light as a feather

you are as consistent as a cycle,

yet changing like the weather

 

You are as bright as the sun

and glow like the moon

I hope your life is long

and happiness finds you soon

 

You’re not as famous as a rockstar

or as rich as the president

but you hold sentimental value

that much is evident

 

There are people who care

people to keep you on the right path

people with a shoulder

on which to cry and to laugh

 

So when you leave this world

don’t leave with any regrets

you left your mark

what else is left?
