Happy Birthday Sophia!
Eight years ago to day,
I held you for the first time,
I remember it like it was yesterday,
A feeling so sublime.
When I looked into your little face,
My heart filled up with love,
I knew without a shadow of doubt,
You were a gift from heaven above.
There is no one else as perfect,
You are the most beautiful by far,
You are my most precious jewel,
My tiny little star.
These last eight years ,have flown by,
Much too fast for me,
There is no way, you could ever know,
just what you mean to me.
One day you will fly right out of my nest,
My heart will fill with sorrow,
But its not today, I will console myself,
That is a far away tomorrow.
Till then, many tomorrows will past,
Each precious in its own way,
So my darling it brings me joy,
To say happy happy birthday!
I held you for the first time,

There is no one else as perfect,
You are the most beautiful by far,
You are my most precious jewel,
My tiny little star.

My heart will fill with sorrow,

That is a far away tomorrow.
Till then, many tomorrows will past,
Each precious in its own way,
So my darling it brings me joy,
To say happy happy birthday!
