This I Write To Dorothy

Seems like only yesterday

That you were just a little girl

Where did all those years go?

For now my mind is in a whirl.


Baked this cake just for you

Ran out of Candles but that's okay

With family to help you celebrate

I'll just say, "Have a fun day!"


I wish you many years ahead

Filled with happiness to the brim

May that Guardian Angel keep you safe

I'll send my love ~ for you're a gem.
