20th of May

The clock points to 12, striking away,
Signaling the coming of another day,
What's the occasion? Someone heard,
T'was the day thy was born in this Earth.

Rejoice! As thy grew older,
But alas none hath thy grown wiser,
Twenty-two! Thy must revel in this youth!
Life is short, thy knoweth tis truth.

The long road awaits me,
Traveling with friends such as thee,
Thus remember the 20th of May,
For it is thou dearest's birthday.
