Magical Birthday

Today's a special day,
Filled with magic and delight,
It's when we celebrate,
Your birth, so pure and bright.

We'll gather 'round to sing,
And watch you blow your candles,
We'll share some cake and treats,
And make some sweet examples.

But we'll also take the time,
To show you how we feel,
We'll hug you tight and whisper,
Our love, so strong and real.

For you are such a precious gift,
To everyone you meet,
It's no wonder that your birthday,
Is such a cause to greet.

So may this day be joyful,
And may it bring much cheer,
May it be the start of a year,
Full of blessings, love, and care.

And may you always know,
How much you're loved and adored,
Happy birthday, sweet child,
You are truly loved and adored.

The Birthday Bash Bonanza

Today's the day, the special one,
We'll celebrate from sun to sun.
With cakes and treats and tons of fun,
Our birthday bash will be number one.

The party starts with balloons and streamers,
And friends and family in their gleamers.
We'll sing and dance and make some noise,
And play some games with all the girls and boys.

The first game's simple, it's called "Don't Blink",
We stand real still and try not to wink.
If you move or blink, you're out of the game,
But if you last, you'll win some fame.

Next up is "Pin The Tail on the Donkey",
We spin the blindfolds round and round, so wonky.
Then we try to place the tail just right,
And see who can do it without any sight.

We'll take a break for cake and treats,
And open gifts with lots of peeps.
Our tummies full and spirits high,
We'll continue with more fun nearby.

We'll play "Hot Potato" with a twist,
Using a water balloon that cannot be missed.
Each pass gets wetter than before,
But we'll keep laughing and asking for more.

Lastly, we'll gather for a group photo,
And strike some poses that are quite adagio.
The memories we've made will last all year,
Until it's time for another birthday cheer.

So thank you all for coming today,
And making this party such a tray.
We'll see you soon for the next affair,
Until then, have fun and take care!
