Lila wakes up with sun and a big smile.
It is her day, her four year birthday today.
She hops from bed, hop hop, giggle and clap.
Mom bakes a cake, warm, sweet, soft and round.
The kitchen smells nice, yum yum, so good.
Dad blows up blue balloons, pop pop, big and bright.
Friends come in, tiny shoes tap tap on floor.
They hang a flag, red, yellow, green, and blue.
Lila wears a hat, small, soft, with a star.
She holds a gift, wrapped in bright paper and bow.
A little puppy barks, woof woof, and wags his tail.
Oh no, cake top tips, a small drop on floor.
Mom smiles and pats Lila, gentle and calm.
Dad lifts the cake, phew, safe again on tray.
Friends sing a song, la la la, soft and sweet.
Lila blows the candle, whoosh, wish and a smile.
She shares the cake, small bits for each hand.
They clap and hop, happy feet go round and round.
A balloon slips loose, off it goes, fly fly!
Dad says, "I will get it," quick step, hop hop.
He reaches the roof and brings the ball back.
Everyone cheers, yay yay, big smiles all round.
They play a game of pass, gentle and slow.
Lila gives hugs, warm hugs for each small friend.
The puppy sniffs a shoe, plouf, then snore, nap.
They paint small stars on paper, bright and neat.
Lila ties a bow on a friend's hair.
A little rain comes, drip drip, soft on the roof.
Mom spreads a big rug, dry and warm quick.
They dance on the rug, stomp stomp, spin and laugh.
Sun peeks out, wink wink, the day feels bright.
Gifts sit in a pile, soft, small, fun to peek.
Lila opens one gift, a doll with a hat.
She says, "Thank you," and gives a big smile.
The friends clap again, soft hands and warm eyes.
Night comes slow, stars blink, cozy and calm now.
Lila hugs her mom, snuggle, soft breath, little yawn.
Dad tucks her in, sings low, la la la.
She closes her eyes, smile on her small face.
All is well, love is here, sleep comes fast.
Sharing small things makes our hearts warm and bright.
