Meeting new people
For me, is never a ball
The butterflies inside
Flaps and makes me hide.

Just walking into a room
Poor butterflies meet their doom
As my confidence in me sinks
Denying what people think.

It is so hard to be true
For just simply being you
The butterflies inside
Seems, they just died.

I dreamt of the time
When I wake, all is fine
The butterflies will fly away
The world will know, I am gay.

Today is your 30th birthday,
A wonderful life for you I pray.
Gone are the days of come what mays,
Plan and succeed to have your own way.

Now begins the time of your life,
When all your dreams are realized.
Keep staying on the right path,
For this is the only life you’ve got.

Your family – the source of your strength,
For them, you are really heaven-sent.
Your friends value your friendship,
For they will never have another who cares so deeply.

I am one of those very lucky and grateful people,
You have touched with your heart and soul.
And my three wishes for you my friend,
Happiness, peace, and love beyond the end.
