They say flowers bloom in their time,

But not all flowers bloom at the eleventh hour,

You're such an exception, except that you're exceptional.

Your smile is like a soothing drape of water, and butterflies drool at your rich petals.

They say beauty fades, but the word never fades;

An epitome of beauty, a presence that sustains the word itself.

Red carpet floored, jaws dropped;

Don't rush it, a step at a time — one and then the other;

Shine like the reflection of the sun on the ocean,

And hide as prey would from its predator.

Take joy in your new age, and in this, take a look back at your beginning.

I hope this new year draws you close to your dreams.
