Long colorful inflatable toy
made to bring smiles of joy
for birthday girls and boys
We've blown and we've panted
but have we ever counted
or have we taken for granted
the long strong healthy breaths
used to make them grow
How some will always long to know
the pleasure of making them grow
to see the joy they sow
making children smile just so
Our breaths come from healthy lungs
that many take for granted
each breath is a wonderful gift
even if you've panted.
