Spring of your beginning
With Lilacs all around
Feel the joy of freshness
With love the air is crowned

Soft the scent of beauty
That wafts within the air
Fresh and new beginnings
Whatever season's here

With every brand new season
Your life has now begun
With courage you have offered
With every rising sun

We feel the love and power
That brings a season's breath
You have been that glory
With courage that's been left

So others now can follow
With love that always leads
Your footprints soft and gentle
Yet powerfully received

Petals of a Lilac
Gentle and so small
But powerful their beauty
Their fragrance fills the dawn

Joy in new beginnings
With love that enters new
A day of sweetest beauty
That now belongs to you

All captured in a garden
Within the heart's bouquet
A treasure you have given
That stays with us each day.
