A Shire's Birthday Blessing

[Verse] Morning dew on the hill Soft as a loving touch Gifts of gold and laughter fill A day for you so much [Bridge] Beneath the old oak tree Your ancestors rest in peace Their stories live in thee A bond that will never cease [Chorus] Happy birthday in the Shire Let the flames burn ever higher With your mother by your side In her love we all confide [Verse 2] Songs of yore they softly play Echoes of time gone by Ancient paths we walk today Beneath the clear blue sky [Chorus] Happy birthday in the Shire Let the flames burn ever higher With your mother by your side In her love we all confide [Verse 3] Her smile a guiding light Through your gentle years She held you through the night Wiped away your fears
