In a land where maple whispers to the breeze, My heart to you, dear Appu, sails overseas. A bond unbroken by the miles that stretch, You’re the light, the sun, the perfect sketch. Twenty-one candles aglow in the night, Yet, in this distance, your warmth is my light. Brother, my world, you’ve given me grace, Your laughter, a melody I can't replace. Beyond every ocean, beneath every sky, In whispers of wind, I hear your reply. A princess in your eyes, I forever remain, In my heart, your love leaves an indelible stain. So, to Canada’s fields, my wishes I send, Happy birthday, dear Appu, beloved friend. Though miles may part, my heart holds true, For you are my sunshine, my ever-blue.
