if you were here i'd share with you all that you have missed
your ears would be my sounding board of things i couldn't resist
i'd go way back when we were young and laughter filled the air
and slowly bring you through the years no moment would i spare
things that happened in my life that bought me so much joy
all the decisions that i've made turning into man from a boy
i'd go into minute detail of every amazing place i've seen
paint those pictures in your head so you may go an dream
i'd bring you up to date on all those new fangled things
and show you how to use them and the fun that it brings
i'd check on every word so you would never misunderstand
and make sure that you accepted this was not by demand
but just the normal way to share with you as if to celebrate
many a lost birthday wish on the journey of your fate.......
