Seventeen candles burn so bright. <br />Voices meld together in celebratory song. <br />My head fills with so many thoughts. <br />What in the world should I wish for? <br />So many things for which I have dreamed... <br />But the only thing I really want is you. <br />That's all I've wanted from the very first. <br />But, afraid to even dare hope that <br />Such a dream could possibly be realized, <br />I wish instead for luck in love, <br />Still hoping that luck might someday include you.<br /><br />Elizabeth Sheaffer<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/birthday-wishes-3/
