no one shines brighter so #hbdsunny!

teach me how to radiate kindness the way you do,

beaming rays embracing the old and the new

and some parts of me can’t fathom what it’s like

to shine so bright, to lift up high

all us seedlings in this blooming garden.

here’s to never keeping all that potential hidden,

to knowing every night will eventually bow to you

centre stage and the whole world’s your crew

one step into the daylight and i’ll know you’re near

golden glow seeps in to envelop the darkest of years.

keep your gaze up and look. in my time we’d call them

fools for flying too close, but now your wings are sunlit gold

and fortune favours the bold—there is nowhere to go

but up.
