*there's the day before The Day

When I have said my evening prayer,

And my clothes are folded on the chair,

And mother switches off the light,

I'll still be 1 year old tonight.

But from the very break of day,

Before the children rise and play,

Before the darkness turns to gold,

Tomorrow, I'll be two years old.

Two kisses when I wake,

Two candles on my cake.
