Happy Birthday, dear daughter💝💖
We are so thankful for the beautiful, kind and caring person you are!!
The 'baby' in our family is 23!!
Today's splashy weather inspired the first line😂
For rain, an umbrella...
For sunshine, a chair...
For rain, an umbrella
For sunshine, a chair
To set in a soft, yellow
Book-nook somewhere
For joy, lots o’ laughter
For sorrow, a friend
To cheer you long after
Well-wishers disband
For day-to-day prudence
Where options run rife
For we are all students
In the school of life
For spoon full of honey
To sweeten Earl Grey
For just enough money
To teach you to pray
For much to give thanks for;
Happiness and health
For mercy, each morning
For wisdom’s fine wealth
For your cup of gladness
Filled up to the brim
Because of God’s goodness
And wonder of Him
For love to be given
For love to embrace
For love is earth’s heaven
For love is God’s grace
I love you, dear daughter
My heaven-on-earth
God bless you forever
With Love's complete worth
Love, Mom, aka

1 Tim. 4:12
Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young,
but set an example for the believers
in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity.
3 John 1:4
I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth.
Hi Janet, this brought tears to my eyes. So beautiful and heartfelt. If I had a daughter I would send her this poem! Happy birthday to your baby/young woman!
ReplyDeleteThank-you Jen<3
DeleteHappy Birthday to the Birthday Queen! Such a beautiful smile she has. The umbrella is much like the one Queen Elizabeth used to be seen using on a wet day.
ReplyDeletethank-you Brenda! She would love to resemble the Queen since she, as I am a fan of British-flavoured things:-)
