YOUR BIRTHDAY IS EVERYDAY!!!

(Not just yesterday)

YESTERDAY, one and eighteen years ago,

May be boldly

Written down 

In solid gold 

To spell your

BIRTH, at RVH;

An occasion that was rightly 

Attended with great joy 

And measured pride!

BUT…………………………………………

to me,

EVERYDAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY!!!

You may look like 

That sneaky shadow 

Always nudging at my back,

Forever spurring me 

To master what I largely lack

BUT to me, 

You are that priceless star in my 

Sky!

When I heard your first  cries

To announce that  earthly stride

I ached my jaws with smiles

Promising to walk and strive

With you, for every mile. 

You are the pouring rain 

On a desert plain! 

You are the flowering forest 

From a blessed grain!

You are the blissful grace

That attends every droopy day!

You are the unfolding rail

Stretching out into all the tomorrows! 

EVERYDAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY!!!

So to you our God,

My hands I raise 

And bow my head in sublime praise,

Pleading for many better days

For me and this your golden gift 

To share with hm in grace

The very best of all our yesterdays!

 

May  the beautiful happiness of our today, 

And the healthy hope of our tomorrows

Increase our humility

And reload our gratitude to 

Our Almighty Maker!

May I be reminded everyday, 

That your birthday is not just 

A day;

EVERYDAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY!!!
