The first birthday was long ago
When a jewel came to us
She came with pain and much ado
And made a general fuss.
And other birthdays came and went
And time drew on a pace;
We do still prize the gift God sent
With pretty form and face.
We hope this birthday may be blessed
Beneath God’s watchful care
By loyal friends and love caressed
This is a father’s prayer.
