Happy Birthday Ariah!

Covered in cake and icing,

Your smile stretched ear to ear.

A single candle celebrates,

The joy of your first year.

We sang Happy Birthday,

You played midst wrap and toys.

We marveled at how you touched our lives,

Just one short year ago.

We remembered the first time we held you,

Kissed your soft sweet velvet head,

Whispered to you softly,

And layed you gently in your bed.

You changed our lives forever,

We will never be the same.

For when you joined our famly,

Our love grew stronger like a flame.

As a child you loved this day,

For all the sweets and presents too.

As parents we loved your day,

For the gift we got was you.

Each year we'll add another candle,

So proud to see you grow.

But always with the memory,

Of your first day long ago.
