Dear Orlando Drummond
I am writing this letter to congratulate you
for your 94th birthday.
Do not be surprised for receiving this letter from a stranger.
Despite not knowing me,
I know you very well.
As many know you by your deeds, being they single or monumental.
Although we are very different by our appearances,
we are many alike.
Your journey began as mine: A long, long time ago.
I always sought something that would make many ponies happy,
making them live in peace and harmony.
Imprint a smile on a stranger's face is something very valuable.
I've learned and met many spells and enchantments,
but this magic is inexplicable; even for me.
I strengthened my knowledge, but won very few friends.
My trails are too long for anyone to try to follow me,
because I'm always traveling.
Despite my advanced age and fatigue,
I didn't stop walking.
I'm always looking for more knowledge and new friendships
to try to cohabit and learn.
You have many dear friends, my dear Drummond. And will still have many others.
There are many smiles to be discovered yet.
I wish you a happy birthday and many happy returns.
With much care and joy,
StarSwirl, the Bearded.
