Birthday

You were my strength when I was at my weakest
You urged me to rise from the pit of disgrace
You brought light when life was at its weakest
But I have never really seen your face
You listened when no one else wanted to
You thought my strengths were greater than my flaws
I said “Queen Rock!” You laughed and said: “How true”
You laughed at all my Kenshin metaphors
And now, a year’s passed since it all began
So I will now raise my glass in a toast
To the other side of that ocean span
To the Floridian I like the most

You’re my best friend – That I’m proud to say
And I hope you have a Happy Birthday
