A Birthday

Methmi Mandara 2007 (Matara)

A birthday comes once a year
Which fades all your sorrow and fear
And brings your loved people near
With glowing candles and soft cheer

Not in L.A but at home
No matter an arrival of rain or storm
Love is given to all of you
When a birthday is passing through

Candles to make your wishes come true
Blow it once so they'll be true
Share a cake with your loved once
Make your spirits the greatest once
