An early morning waking to paddle on the James,

A gift of flowers to pot and place,

A cake with candles to celebrate and share,

A blessing from a friend to mark the day,

What a beautiful morning for a birthday!

A perfect match for you, Florence!

Wishing you delight, family and friends today, good rest, play, love!
