On October's breeze a song unfolds, For Gabriel, now twenty-one years bold, In friendship's laughter, stories unwind, A bond of trust, forever entwined. The candles flicker, casting light, In celebration of day and night, A toast to years, both past and new, Happy Birthday, dear Gabriel, to you. May friendships warm like autumn's glow, As October leaves in brilliance show, Here's to life's dance, in graceful sway, And the journeys shared along the way.
