Your Birthday Present is My Happiness

You do not like Birthdays

Especially Your own

And You don't want Presents

Except Love and Tenderness

But I know there is Something

You will accept with Joy:

I will give You all my Happiness

As I have promised You that I

Will be Happy every day of my Life

In spite of all the Sad and Bad Things

Like the Sunlight shines through

The Black Clouds of Gloom

My Happiness shall overcome

The Dismal atmosphere all around
