Greeting cards have all been sent,

The Christmas rush is through.

But I still have one wish to make,

A special one for Thing Two...

Happy Birthday, Baby

Though you're still asleep, it's true...

.

You're eleven now and in my dreams

I always wished for a girl, just like you...

.

Growing up is NOT always joyful

Especially when something's bothering you...

.

But every day's a brighter day

When I can laugh with you...

.

The things you could be

I wish you could see

I wish it every day...

.

You're smart and very strong

Darn good at singing songs

And pretty, too...YES!...way...

.

TRUST ME...I see it everyday

But my singing...uh...can sort of suck

'Nuf said...don't press your luck...

.

[clears throat]

Happy Birthday, my Christmas Baby

You're eleven, I can't believe it's true

But, I've just one wish

On this special day

.

I wish I were more like you!
