Soft
sigh)
Oh,
the
candles
flicker
in
the
dark
Another
year
has
passed
away
It
is
your
birthday,
but
the
room
feels
cold
The
stories
of
our
youth
have
all
been
told
I
see
the
calendar
mark
down
the
date
But
longing
is
the
heavy
hand
of
fate
I
remember
how
you
worked
until
the
dawn
The
sweat
upon
your
brow,
the
fire
drawn
You
taught
me
courage
when
the
walls
were
high
Now
I
am
left
beneath
a
hollow
sky
Happy
birthday,
wherever
you
may
go
I
miss
the
wisdom
that
I
used
to
know
You
gave
me
strength
when
I
was
feeling
small
I
hear
your
footsteps
echo
in
the
hall
It's
hard
to
smile
when
you
are
not
around
I'm
searching
for
the
ghost
of
every
sound
Happy
birthday,
I
wish
you
peace
today
Even
if
you're
worlds
and
lives
away
Your
resilience
was
a
mountain
I
could
climb
A
steady
anchor
through
the
waves
of
time
I
still
feel
the
rhythm
of
your
honest
heart
Even
though
the
distance
keeps
us
far
apart
I
trace
the
lines
of
lessons
you
would
share
Finding
comfort
in
the
emptiness
of
air
I
miss
the
way
you
pushed
me
to
be
bold
A
golden
heart,
a
story
yet
untold
Happy
birthday,
wherever
you
may
go
I
miss
the
wisdom
that
I
used
to
know
You
gave
me
strength
when
I
was
feeling
small
I
hear
your
footsteps
echo
in
the
hall
It's
hard
to
smile
when
you
are
not
around
I'm
searching
for
the
ghost
of
every
sound
Happy
birthday,
I
wish
you
peace
today
Even
if
you're
worlds
and
lives
away
Time
moves
slowly
like
a
river
wide
With
nowhere
left
for
all
this
grief
to
hide
I
celebrate
the
man
you
chose
to
be
The
light
you
lit
inside
the
soul
of
me (
