I knew it was love.
When we danced, the world stood still.
Then the clock chimed once.
Suddenly she froze.
Timidly, I took her hand
As the clock chimed twice.
Just one kiss, I wished.
At the third chime, I leaned in…
But she turned and fled.
Four chimes in, I paused.
That was when I realized,
I don’t know her name.
Terror seized my heart.
No, I cannot lose her now.
Five chimes in, I ran.
Chasing after her,
I could hear the sixth chime ring.
Please come back, I begged.
At the seventh chime,
All I found upon the stairs
Was her glass slipper.
As the eighth chime rang,
I looked down and saw her there,
Running through the doors.
Glass slipper in hand,
I followed her down the path
To the clock’s ninth chime.
I stopped at the gate.
The tenth chime sent her carriage
Out into the night.
Eleven chimes in.
Desperately I called to her.
Just once, she looked back.
Midnight, she was gone.
Lovesick and alone I stood
As the clock struck twelve.

Her eyes are like the stars
That twinkle in the night.
Her laughter is the sun
That makes our days so bright.
Her smile is like a light
That can brighten any place.
It’s my favorite feature
Of her pretty little face.
She has a songbird’s voice;
I love it when she sings.
She’s great at dancing, acting,
And a hundred other things.
She’s charming, sweet, and funny.
Her heart is full of love.
There really is no question:
She’s a gift sent from above!
If I could tell her one thing
Right now, it would be this:
“I love you, little angel!
Happy Birthday, baby sis!”
Happy Birthday to my awesome baby sister! Keep on being the little angel you are! I love you!

Always do I think fondly of you,
My beloved homeland.
Every day, I miss your beautiful flag,
Red, white and blue waving high above me.
I will return to you someday,
Country of freedom and opportunity.
America, my heart belongs to you!
Happy Independence Day to all my fellow American friends and family! May you have a blessed Fourth of July weekend!

My witty little sister
Is a gift sent from above.
She fills our days with laughter,
Silliness and lots of love.
She’s always been quite clever,
Just as smart as she is fun.
Her comments are notorious
For amusing everyone.
Her jokes are sharp yet tasteful,
And they never lack in style.
Her charming disposition
Never fails to make us smile.
The speed of her responses
Leaves me awed in many ways.
Comebacks that take her seconds
Would take me at least three days!
My witty little sister
Brings me joy when I feel blue.
Every day, I want to tell her,
“Dearest sister, I love you!”
Happy Birthday to my awesome and funny little sister! Keep being the charming, witty person you are! I love you!

Man I’ve looked up to my whole life,
You are a true hero in my eyes.
Support me through all my endeavors.
Understand me like no one else does.
Protect me from the evils in the world.
Entertain me with your witty humor.
Rescue me in my times of need.
My dear father, you are my hero.
Always be my Superman, and I will
Never stop loving you with all my heart!
Happy Father’s Day to my incredible dad! Thank you for always being my Superman, the greatest hero I could ever ask for! I love you!
