On the Occasion of the Birthday of my Father and Brother as Recounted by the Creed-Writers of the Early Church

Today are your birthdays
One day, yet two
The one has many days
The other has but few.

Two birthdays do we celebrate
But we celebrate one day
Two days do we recall of late
Yet celebrate once we may.

We celebrate one birthday in two
In unity two in one
One person is my father
The other is his son.

The persons we do not confound
Neither do we divide the essence
When we gather all around
As they eat cake and open presents.
