To Kat on her day of birth, A biologist of boundless earth. In forests deep and oceans wide, Where mysteries and wonders hide. Your hands bring life to all you see, In nature's dance, your spirit free. Beside our son, who paints the skies, With wings of clay, his passion flies. Together you, like birds in flight, Craft worlds of beauty through day and night. A heart for science, a love of art, May this birthday be the start. Of joyous years that weave and blend, Nature and creation, hand in hand. To you, dear Kat, we raise a cheer, For all the brilliance you hold dear.
