A birthday is a gift
from God
To which none can
compare
Because it proves
above all else
His kind, unfailing
care
This freefall from
time’s tick-tock fount
For all its
discontent
Sends us one special
day to count
The blessings God has
lent
Then we become most
humbly glad
For this, our gift of
days
And what a blessed
year we had
To give God all the
praise
~Janet Martin
Every day people all around the world celebrate this wonderful gift...a birthday!
If today is your special day I hope it is a truly blessed one.
Last night we attended our first ever 60th birthday party and Time it seems, for all of us is a slippery thing we can never quite grasp!
Wouldn't it be nice if I opened a birthday card at the stationers and found your poem written inside instead of the silly sentiments I usually find. I would buy it on the instant and give it to someone I know who is turning 61 soon.
ReplyDelete:) thank-you. I wonder if there is a place one could send in card poems. You are more than welcome to use this one.
DeleteI agree, for all the cards out there, a truly worthwhile sentiment is hard to find! I guess I didn't check out the right stores but all the 60th birthday cards seemed ridiculously childish for someone whose come to such a milestone and deserves a special blessing!
