Happy Birthday, Estelí!
To dear Estelí:
Though I wish I were with you,
watching you read this,
I can imagine
your beautiful smile lines
adorning your face;
I'm reminded of
"You have beautiful smile."
It is always true.
Some people don't care
all that much about birthdays;
House pretends not to.
They are all sillsters:
birthdays, as you know quite well,
are so important!
I like making plans
for you to enjoy your day;
I hope you like them.
The best day of all
is one I'm lucky to know:
a day spent with you.
I'm very happy
to be together with you
(in spirit, for now) -
sharing life with you,
missing you when you're not there,
loving you always.
Twelve-dash-twenty-eight:
always a dear time to you,
and now to me too;
it brings happiness
whenever it emerges
in times or elsewhere.
Therefore I wish you:
Happy Birthday, Estelí!
I love you. -Noah
a poem by
Ahmed Faraz
The day you were born the day of paradise
When bloom smiles charmingly
Says happy birthday to you
Fragrant blossom of spring
When the stars twinkle twinkle
Says happy birthday to you
The dazzling pearl
When the sky wears a rainbow
Says happy birthday to you
The queen of colours
When the cuckoo sings melodious
Says happy birthday to you
The sweetest of rhythms
When the heart pray of peace
Says happy birthday to you
The princess of hearts
When the soul slumber soundless
Says happy birthday to you
The dream of the dawn
