Honest Reaction

So locked in my own head I didn’t think about what was said.
For that I am truly sorry, happy birthday, celebrate your glory.
Hope for this you will forgive, otherwise I’m double failing.
Mounting pressure in my brain, there I go yet again.
Dispense of thoughts about myself, to toast to you and good health.
Raise the glass and smile so wide, pleased to see a shining light.
Raise your head and keep it high, you deserve the endless sky.
A place to soar but never fall flat, another year has gone fast.
Soppy words they might just be, but this is all genuine me.
So once again I say; to your birth, for you deserve this verse.
