Birthday Poem for Emily

Oh my dearest Emily,
I struggle to find a simile
That conveys my feelings
About your dealings
In life, rife with seven- 
Oh seven! By Heaven!
Seven years of smiles. 
Let me count the miles
We've tread together 
Because I want to tether 
My soul to your soul. 
Oh I cannot control
My admiration for you!
All I want to do
Is sing happy birthday,
Happy birthday, happy birthday to you!
