Lovely cards and fancy cakes,

These small things a birthday make

People show how much they care

And this special day with those you share.

Cards say, mother, nana, wife

I count my blessings for this loving life

And then a tear comes in my eye

For those whose birthdays just pass by. Not a card do some folk get

They're alone feeling regret

No one to wish them a happy birthday

And they just go their lonely way

Some people ignore their birthdays I know

They just let their special day come and go

But those who haven't anyone one to care

My birthday wishes with you I do share E A Lilley, Higher Bridge Street, Bolton
