Birthday Wishes

When it's your birthday, it's all about you

People with their wishes of luck

and pastry dishes streaming with color

They smile and buy you the gift you always wanted

We clean up your mess and cater towards your leisure 

Never speak a word of their troublesome job

or how they just can't seem to get life on track

That day we talk only of your most deep rooted passions

Have a few drinks and exchange witty banter at the local bar

Tell you that you are the prettiest thing ever to have walked

Celebrate that you have lived another prosperous year

But secretly, we only wish it was our birthday as well
