How many candles would I need <br />If I was to bake You a birthday cake? <br />Then to send it up to Heaven, <br />Whose taxi cab should I take? <br /> <br />I hope You know frankincense and myrrh <br />Are too expensive for me to buy? <br />Oh yes I’m certain that You do <br />For You hear every time I cry! <br /> <br />I looked up to the stars last night. <br />Mommy took me to the Christmas parade. <br />I did not see Your streets of gold, <br />But I hear that’s how they are made! <br /> <br />I have grown to a very big kid. <br />Yes I’m in kindergarten now! <br />My grandparents would be proud of me, <br />But they live with You somehow! <br /> <br />I Know some day I will visit them, <br />But first I’ll kiss You right on the cheek. <br />I know someday You’ll make me strong <br />After I’ve grown all old and weak! <br /> <br />I see a bright star up by the moon. <br />Is it the shepherd’s star I see? <br />Maybe You are winking with one eye <br />And You are doing it to me! <br /> <br />So I just sent to You a wink, <br />And I hope that You are pleased! <br />So, Happy Birthday Baby Jesus! <br />From my family and especially me!<br /><br />Robert Edgar Burns<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/happy-birthday-baby-jesus/
