Sister, you are a guardian angel in disguise

Though at the moment we are poles apart,
in my thoughts, in my actions, you are in my heart.

Happy Birthday to my very best friend.
Your special day has come by again.
We had so much fun last time around.
Youโ€™re the awesome-est person Iโ€™ve ever found.

You canโ€™t put a price on times like these.

Whereโ€™s the magic? Whereโ€™s the flame?
To get your wish without a doubt,
You need to blow some candles out!”

Of laughter, joy, and fun,
Surprises, love, and happiness,

I hope you feel deep in your heart,
As your birthdays come and go,
How very much you mean to me,
More than youโ€™ll ever know.

I donโ€™t know how to say it, but believe me, itโ€™s true,
thereโ€™s no one in the world, that could ever compare to you.

From the day you were born Iโ€™ve watched you grow.
Into the nicest person one could know.
A baby sister who captured my heart,
nothing and no one could tear us apart.
So bouncy and lively, zesty and bright,
Thatโ€™s the way you go on sailing through life.
You light up a room, soon as you appear.
A gift to the world, so precious and dear

A bunch of flowers,
A homemade cake,
That special gift,
A birthday steak.
A Facebook greeting,
And a cyber card.
We hold these gifts,
In high regard.
But the greatest gift,
I can truly say,
Is your sweet affection,
On your special day.

This birthday wish for you,
May your wildest dreams come true.

Todayโ€™s your birthday party,
But I canโ€™t be there with you,
So hereโ€™s a special birthday wish,
For good luck in all you do.
