BIRTHDAY GIRL

When I have said my evening prayer,
And my clothes are folded on the chair,
And mother switches off the light,
I'll still be 9 years old tonight.

But from the very break of day,
Before the children rise and play,
Before the darkness turns to gold,
Tomorrow, I'll be 10 years old.

10 kisses when I wake,
10 candles on my cake.

Happy Birthday dear sweet Lauren!

happy things in life. You bring such
