First birthday 

Multiple guests

Cake and celebration

Probably the best

Third birthday

Still quite nice

Food and decorations

Presents at a price

Fifth birthday

Now we’re getting somewhere

Excitement all around

Glee and joy are the only sound

Seventh birthday

Couldn’t be better

At the age to do exciting things

Probably able to read birthday letters

Ninth birthday

Waiting eagerly for the day became waiting for any other

Presents were received with grateful hearts and glee

But the authentic laughter was replaced by another

Eleventh birthday

The excitement died down

The day passed by like the day before and the day after

But you could still hear the sound of laughter

Thirteen

A joyful day

One more year in life, played

But celebrations have begun to fade

Fourteen now, going on fifteen

Soon to be the birthday boy once again

But it seems like everyone else cares more than I

And I’ll hold that close until the day I die

Birthdays are special

Birthdays are unique

That day is your day

Own it with all your heart

Because on your birthday

All that matters

Are your family and friends

And the shared laughter
