A very special day...
Mood:  amorous
...A beginning of an era,
revelations unfurled,
something special happened,
when you entered this world,

A light for some,
a force for others,
your presence always felt,
one way or another.

A force for some,
for me it was love,
I am thankful for you,
I can't say it enough.

Exit youth, enter wisdom,
beauty is refined,
you're more lovely than ever,
and your just twenty-nine.

so much fire emitted,
yet still a spark left aglow,
Happy birthday to Nathan,
from your loving friend, Joe.
