One score and four years ago,
the earth welcomed your soul.
While I did not know you then,
I know you now as my friend.
So for the few years I may have missed,
Happy belated, best wishes, you get the gist.
But what I really mean to say,
Although this may be your day,
The celebrations mark not another year gone by,
but another year you’ve been in my life.
