For someone special I hold dear.
Though time has passed, my thoughts were true,
I hope this birthday meant joy for you. - I missed the date, I must confess,
But hope your day was full of success.
So here’s my wish, a little delayed,
For laughs and memories you’ve surely made. - The candles burned, the cake was cut,
I showed up late—yes, what a rut!
But friendship strong won’t fade with time,
So here’s my wish, wrapped up in rhyme. - Days flew by and slipped my mind,
But a better friend, I’ll never find.
So take this wish, though not on cue,
It comes with hugs and love for you. - A belated rhyme to say I care,
Though I wasn’t there, my heart was there.
Hope your birthday was all things bright,
And filled your soul with pure delight. - The date is gone, the candles dim,
Yet in my heart, you’re never slim.
A wish so late, but meant to stay,
I hope you had a perfect day. - I missed the cake, I missed the fun,
But you’re still my number one.
Happy late, my dearest friend,
Our laughs and love will never end. - Sorry this comes after the fact,
But love like mine will never lack.
Wishing joy, both late and true,
A friend like you deserves the moon too. - Belated thoughts, but warm and kind,
A truer friend, I’ll never find.
Though late I write, my wish is strong,
May happiness follow you all year long. - Your birthday came and passed so fast,
But our friendship will forever last.
Sorry this greeting is a tad bit late,
But I hope your day was truly great. - I missed the cake, I missed the cheer,
But not a moment without you near.
Happy belated, with love so wide,
You’re always right here by my side. - Though the clock ran past the date,
My feelings for you will never wait.
So here’s my wish, though it came late,
For joy and love to fill your plate. - A friend so dear deserves the best,
Even if I failed the birthday test.
Still sending hugs across the miles,
And hoping your day brought lots of smiles. - A little late, I raise a toast,
To the friend I adore the most.
Hope your birthday was full of grace,
With sunshine bright on your lovely face. - Late it may be, but my wish is true,
Happy birthday, from me to you.
May laughter and peace always find your way,
And bless you every single day.
