Birthday for Jennifer



On this meaningful reunion
Of my sister-in-law's birth
I start to think to myself
What her friendship to me is worth

I view in her judgement
For intricate things to me
Are transparent in her eyes
And her sophistication is what I see

Then I perceive from her heart
A manner that is enamored and is tender
That makes it no problem to start to
Put faith in and befriend her

And from her soul I see a spirit
That's capable and robust
Which can handle agitative things
I can truly and really trust

So on this day that rapture has came
I thank you for being my friend
With a "Happy Birthday To You"
And our friendship should never end
