A Birthday Song for my Niece, Celine
I chose to publish this song I wrote on my niece’s birthday here in the Medium as I believe it will stay for good. What I intend to say is Medium is where you can make sure what you create will be eternal. Books, diaries, notes, pictures, and even clips you produce might get lost or damaged. However, things you share on the Medium are here to stay.
Dear Celine,
Your birth was a divine blessing to the family when we were going through a difficult time. Your first cries marked a turning point in our lives and we all thank you for being part of the family.
Your birthday is a beautiful day,
A day for you I always pray,
I can hear everyone say:
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Shinning like a little star,
You’re smiling from afar,
I can hear the angels say:
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Pigeons are flying nearby,
Sparrows singing a lullaby,
I can hear the birds say:
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday, sweetheart.
May God keep watching over you.
Love,
Uncle Allen
