On Your Birthday (Malaysia Day)

On this day, many years ago 
As we were reminiscing about you 
You, beautiful adorable you 
We realised that we had never known 
Truly when and where you were born 
You, fiercely loving you

We inherited you
When we bought our lovely home 
And you had made our lives a joy 
You, loyal joyful you

So on this day, many years ago 
As we were thinking of you 
We decided, fancifully 
(and without consulting you) 
that today would be your birthday 

You, beautiful adorable you 
You, fierce fierce you 
You, forever loved you.
