Moonlight climbs across the window pane
A velvet coat to brush away the rain
No need to chase the roaring restless sea
Within your walls you're wild and you're free
Though world winds change and shadows start to roam
Right here will always be your harbor home
Woven into meals and daily chores
A love that's quiet healing all the sores
The greatest gift is not a distant shore
But fireside talks and warmth behind the door
Happy Birthday dearest Cancer soul
Your gentle persistence makes my spirit whole
With a hardened shell you shield a tender flame
Through rising tides and moods without a name
No matter how the heavy currents flow
Your arms are the healing port where I can go
Two little crabs just lounging on the couch
A fridge full of tomorrow not a single slouch
The 'homebodies'of the world know love the best
Hot pot steam puts every loneliness to rest
Let the wild winds blow don't you look behind
Your shell holds a universe the rarest kind
Guarding every dream through the afternoon light
Keeping every memory burning bright
Happy Birthday dearest Cancer soul
Your gentle persistence makes my spirit whole
With a hardened shell you shield a tender flame
Through rising tides and moods without a name
No matter how the heavy currents flow
Your arms are the healing port where I can go
The Moon is watching over you it's true
While you guard the dreams of those who lean on you
Dear Cancer Happy Birthday may you find
Years of peace and a heart forever kind
