Let's make this birthday one to remember.

84 years old (Born on April 18, 1941)

Happy Birthday, President Michael D. Higgins! From poet to politician and broadcaster extraordinaire—your journey has been as vibrant as your legendary speeches (and almost equally impressive eyebrows). Since taking office in 2011, you've charmed Ireland with eloquence, compassion and a wit sharper than an Irish winter wind.

Whether passionately advocating for human rights or delighting us all by casually chatting about literature on national TV—you've set the bar high indeed. Your recent re-election proves that age is just a number when you're busy being everyone's favourite president-poet-philosopher hybrid!

Here's wishing you another year filled with poetry readings—and fewer awkward handshakes!
