A birthday poem for a child whose mother is across an ocean on her birthday:

Crystal loves the waves

And takes them for a ride.

But just right now her mummy

Is on the other side.

As far as she can see

The waves break more and more.

But just right now her mummy

Is on the other shore.

It's a great big ocean

With lots of sharks and whales,

Octopus and sailboats

And big boats without sails,

Polar bears and penguins,

And lots and lots of fish.

But just right now Crystal

Would like to make one wish.

Crystal wishes that

The ocean were a puddle.

Then she could jump across,

And she and Mummy cuddle!

Wouldn't it be nice

If the ocean were a lake?

Then Crystal's mummy

Could have some birthday cake!

Crystal's mummy loves her,

But she is far away,

Far across the ocean

On Crystal's special day.
