23! 23!

Can it be, you’ve turned 23?

This year has been tough, that much one can see

But it’s what’s inside, your tenacity

Your positivity, generosity

Easy going ways and flexibility

Yet we’ve seen how you’ve struggled, having a new sister is hard

But it delights us that you’re slowly lowering your guard

You’re adapting to something that’s all so brand new

It’s shifted our focus, that used to be aimed just at you

So we want you to know, we see your emotions

You’ve been mad, you’ve been sad

Its ebbed like an ocean

But our love for you hasn’t waivered

It runs deep, it runs true

And today we celebrate all that is you!
