Happy Birthday Emily!
Wishing you God's blessing today and in the year ahead.
Keep shining for Him!
May He bless you as you bless others!
It's a joy to share mother-to-daughter...
but also mother-to-mother💗
I love you!
How does one find new ways to say
Endearment’s oldest sweetest phrase
Or capture in poetic lay
Emotion’s oceanic waves
The affection we try to tout
In lines, original and new
Always seem incomplete without
Three little words, so tried, so true
I love you
How does one spell a heart; the art
Of tenderness is hard to snare
It sparkles in salt stars that smart
And catch in our throats somewhere
Where all the verses we compose
Will never leave us quite content
Without this three syllable rose
To satisfy soul’s sentiment
I love you
Our first words breathed on newborn’s cheek
As we greet babe so pure and new
Our homage to the frail and weak
When no other wording will do
Three words to summarize the whole
When a thousand are not enough
Three words to capture heart and soul
But perfect, when it comes to love
I love you
How swift the days and seasons blur
Into a panoramic sweep
Autumn, winter, spring and summer
With oh, so little we can keep
Save pictures pressed into a place
Where rough edges are gilt with gold
And all that there is left to trace
Are three words that never grow old
I love you

Traditional Birthday verses but that's because
we never outgrow the need for this reminder...
Prov.3:5-8
Trust in the LORD with all your heart,
in all your ways acknowledge Him,
Be not wise in your own eyes;
This will bring healing to your body
and refreshment to your bones.
Oh dear, you are just awesome with your words!! I love this one, too!!!
