Birthday Poem

Written for my son Dale

Happy Birthday Dale!!!!

Doesn’t seem that long ago,

A baby boy was born.

He came into my life

About the time my heart was torn.

He brought such joy that I could just

Forget about the sorrow,

And gazing on his precious face

Look forward to tomorrow.

Been many years now since that day

And still he brings me joy.

But now he’s not a baby

Not even just a boy.

He’s all grown up into a man,

It’s plain as it can be,

That God has answered prayers I’ve prayed

And truly He’s blessed me!

I am so proud of you my son.

Keep growing day by day.

Stay on your knees, be humble,

And don’t forget to pray.

Then one day soon when Jesus comes

Together we will rise.

And we will hear the Father say

Come in and claim your prize.

I want to hear those words with you,

Well done my faithful friend.

Now with eternity before us

We will never hear “THE END”
