today, is a blessing in our eyes
Life isn’t always easy.
Definitely not always fair.
But let’s not take it for granted,
the fact that you’re still here.

Happy birthday popsicle,
to have you as one of my best friends is great.
Not many can hang with their pops.
It’s just not everyone’s fate.

But today is a gift, which is why we call it the present.
Tomorrow may not be promised but in my heart you are a permanent resident.

Today is your day, but it’s ours too.
Granny and grandpa are so proud of you.
Aunty Emily is smiling, Japhet and Abel as well.
You are loved by so many, this I can tell.

Enjoy the day pops, and let us look forward to next year.
Typing this out made shed a few tears.
Cuz losing you is one of my biggest fears.
One of the few that I hold most dear

Love ya popsicle
