Today's your natal day;
Sweet flowers I bring:
Mother, accept, I pray
My offering.
And may you happy live;
And long us bless:
Receiving as you give
Great happiness.
--Christina Rossetti (1830-94)
No one's smile
Has ever warmed my heart
Like yours does;
No one's laughter
Fills my heart with delight
As quickly as yours can.
--Barbara Cage
