A grand sunrise, a brand new year begins,
For you, my love, my noble Frances.
I watch you grow with grace and steady stride,
The man you are becoming fills my heart with pride.
Through every trial, your strength begins to shine,
I hold your hand, forever grateful you are mine.
Happy birthday, Frances, my beloved, my guide,
May heaven's light forever walk by your side.
Protected from the shadows, lifted high above,
Enfolded in my everlasting love.
May sacred shields ward off the evil eye,
And carry your ambitions to the highest sky.
I pray the heavens lift you, ever higher still,
Guided by grace, aligned with holy will.
Happy birthday, Frances, my beloved, my guide,
May heaven's light forever walk by your side.
Protected from the shadows, lifted high above,
Enfolded in my everlasting love.
I love you, Frances, my husband, my king,
To you, this symphonic prayer I sing.
Happy birthday.
