Don't just count the years that you will celebrate today,
Count the friends you've made and joys you've known along the way.
Count your special talent and the interests you pursue,
Count the stars you have wished on and the dreams you've seen come true.
May you count your years by memories of the joys along life's way,
Good friends you've made, kind things you've done so thoughtfully eachday.
And the joy you've brought to others be returned to you to brighten each coming day the whole year through.
