My dear Mina
we wish you many many happy returns of the day
May you get all that you desire as a gift on a tray
we will love to wish you more and more
of all that we have in our hearts store
we will like to see and know you more and more
for that you must tell us to be sure
of what you like and love and what you adore
and what presents will please you more
we know you are smart and sweet
like a beautiful doll we rarely meet
you dance and sing and model
dress nicely and are a lovely girl
but we would be even more happy
to have a line or two of your poetry
affectionately yours
Tai tauji
