A rose by any name a rose and you I'm not trying to impress <br />And you have always been a rose you beautiful poetess <br />And this rose like flower I give to you to much may not amount <br />Though some do say and I'm one of those that it is the thought that count. <br /> <br />On this your birthday morning the sky is looking gray <br />But weather wise at least I hope it won't rain on your day <br />Tonight on your birthday dinner we'll toast you with the glass of cheer <br />As we do on every third of August your big day of the year. <br /> <br />You are the star of the poetry anthology known as 'Mud, Wind And Rain' <br />And those who have read your beautiful poems always return to them again <br />And you are quite an artist too you can paint as well as write <br />And in the W W W group you are a leading light. <br /> <br />Happy birthday to you talented one you look well for your years <br />And tonight at your birthday dinner in Julie's house we will drink a couple of beers <br />And you will be the centre of attention and credit where credit is due <br />And we will sing a happy birthday lovely one to you.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/happy-birthday-talented-one/
