Twenty-First Year

*To (Ate) Jean's 21st Bday

Looking back to the past...
and how it made you "You".
You found your way back home at last;
when dreams are coming true.

It's been your twenty-first year;
and days just seem so fast.
You passed some roads;you faced your fears;
and did the things you must.

You know the simple things in life;
this world has lived to tell.
You taste the pain; the grief and strife;
and managed life as well.

Your smile inspires a lot of friends...
your words have touched some hearts.
Your eyes say things no one can tell;
they speak what's in your heart.

As you go on through your way...
in life's utmost quest.
May you reach your dreams someday;
as you strive to do your best.

So close your eyes for a moment...
then take a breath so deep.
And say your silent wish and prayer...
a treasure you must keep.

We wish your dreams would all come true;
and joy may come your way.
We wish what is the best for you...
happiness in every way.
