Lyrics:

Glad
I’m the human car
You’ve hot-wired
My lyrics, for years
You’ve inspired
Received
With you, wonderful swingset days
Miles, hope you have an awesome 9th Birthday!
You’ll see
This Earth’s pearls
With Oliver, Eden, and Grandpa
Your smarts thrive too
You influence my art
With your clever
wordplay
Miles, hope you have an awesome 9th Birthday!

Almost my height!
Such a wise third grader
Tougher than nails
You never break
So fast, you fly!
At the jog-a-thon
So proud of both your strength and speed
Almost 10 rocks
Next year, more pockets, I’ll just have to bring...
Please, Miles, have a happy 9th Birthday!

Through your love
I’m empowered
Like the sun
You always shine brighter
As up, you grow
Don’t forget the places from where you came
& today, have an awesome 9th Birthday!

Almost my height!
Such a cool third grader
Tougher than nails
You never break
So fast, you fly
At the jog-a-thon
So proud of both your strength and speed
Almost to 10 rocks
Next year, more pockets, I’ll just have to take...
Please today, Miles, have a happy 9th Birthday!

Summer’s on its way here..what
Activity would be magical to your heart?
Where should we take you?
Which places would you especially
Like to see? This year
Wish I could gift you a portal
So to near and far distances, you could teleport
Off you go
Instant travel
But until then, you Tots, I’ll just keep visiting :D

I’m the car
You’ve hot-wired
My lyrics, for years
You’ve inspired
I’m the car
The car, the car, the car &
You’re my favorite music teacher

Almost my height
So impenetrable
Tougher than nails
You never break
So fast, you fly
At the jog-a-thon
Proud of both your strength and speed
Almost to 10 rocks
Next year, more pockets, I’ll just have to take...
Miles, have a happy 9th Birthday!

Almost my height!
My favorite third grader
Tougher than nails
You never break
So fast, you fly
At the jog-a-thon
So proud of both your strength and speed
Almost to 10 rocks
Next year, more pockets, I’ll just have to take...
Please, Miles, have a wonderful 9th Birthday!

Almost my height!
Watching these years fly by
And you grow up
Leaves me feeling so amazed
So quickly, you climb
Scaling slide hill’s rock walls
At the Gathering Place
Your love is KIND
But it’s not the kind that could ever be replaced
Please, Miles, have a fantastic 9th Birthday!

Miles, have a phenomenal 9th Birthday!

End
