My 64th Birthday Poem
It is my 64th birthday today so last evening after making myself a Angel Food cake I sat down and wrote a poem I hope you enjoy about the reason for the Christmas season.
I would love for you to donate what you can to a local organization that helps our neighbors fight cancer. The Light of Hope Cancer Foundation.
I feel blessed to have good health so please open your heart to assist this giving time of year. My goal is to raise $1,000 which I started with a $100 gift myself. Please join in assisting to many my birthday wish come true.
A BIRTHDAY WISH
I THOUGHT I’D SHARE WITH YOU MY BIRTHDAY WISH
IT IS NOT FOR A NEW GUITAR OR FULL COURT SWISH
NO MY BIRTHDAY DESIRE IS A SIMPLE THING
IT’S NOT FOR MONEY OR SMOOTH VOICE TO SING
I WISH FOR A WORLD WHERE EVERYONE JUST LIVES
NO CONQUERING OF COUNTRIES, EVERYONE GIVES
WHERE VIOLENCE JUST DOES NOT EXIST
BOY WOULD THAT PROVIDE A NEWS TWIST
PEOPLE WOULDN’T SPRAY BULLETS INTO SCHOOLS HOPING TO KILL MANY
THAT WORLD WOULD BE WORTH A PRETTY PENNY
TODAY I AWAKENED TO THE START OF MY 64TH YEAR
I DO MISS BEING YOUNGER, BUT I DIDN’T SHED A TEAR
IT WOULDN’T DO ANY GOOD BECAUSE I CAN’T GO BACK
I WOULD LOVE TO, I’D CHANGE MY LIFE TRACK
I’VE MISSED OUT ON MANY EXPERIENCES IN THIS LIFE WALK
HOLDING A LITTLE PIECE OF ME IN MY ARMS WHISPERING BABY TALK
WATCHING THE LITTLE GUY OR GAL TAKE THEIR FIRST STEPS IN LIFE
THEIR FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL, GRADUATION, OR MARRYING A HUSBAND OR WIFE
THOSE ARE THE EVENTS THAT MARK THE PASSAGE OF TIME
ENJOYING GRANDKIDS, MAN COULD I WRITE A RHYME
ABOUT THE FIRST TIME THE LITTLE GUY OR GAL SQUEEZED MY HAND
THE SPARKLE IN THEIR EYES AT THE SIGHT OF GRANDPA WOULD BE GRAND
IN THE BIBLE JESUS TALKS ABOUT LIVING IN THE HERE AND NOW
WHEN YOU DO, YOU EXPERIENCE EVERY WOW
IF YOU LIVE IN THE FUTURE OR THE PAST
YOU MISS A LOT BECAUSE THE PRESENT DOES NOT LAST
IT’S GONE WITH THE BLINK OF AN EYE BY GOD’S DESIGN
BUT EACH MOMENT IS IMPORTANT, IT AGES LIKE FINE WINE
ALL THOSE MOMENTS CARVED THE GRAND CANYON AND MORE
EVERY MILLISECOND GOD IMPROVES NATURE’S MUSICAL SCORE
THOSE SEEMINGLY MUNDANE MOMENTS DOING ROUTINE THINGS
ARE WHAT MAKES THE TIMES BETTER OUR HEART SINGS
TODAY I TURN 64
I’M ANOTHER STEP CLOSER TO HEAVEN’S DOOR
IT IS REALLY NOT A BAD PLACE TO BE
ALTHOUGH I STILL HAVE A LOT OF WORK TO DO ON ME
I’M HOPING GOD IS NOT READY YET TO BRING ME HOME
I NEED A FEW MORE WRINKLES ON THIS BALD DOME
MY BIRTHDAY WISH IS FOR EACH OF YOU TO DONATE TO A GREAT CAUSE
THE LIGHT OF HOPE MN DOT ORG IS WORTHY OF OUR APPLAUSE
IT BENEFITS THE LOCAL CANCER CENTER WHICH HELPS PEOPLE FIGHT ALL KINDS OF CANCER
WE HAVE LOST A LOT OF GOOD PEOPLE TO THE DISEASE AND SOMEDAY THERE WILL BE THE ANSWER
REMEMBER THE THREE WISE MEN WHO CAME FROM AFAR
THEY LOOKED TO THE HEAVENS AND FOLLOWED THE BRIGHT STAR
ONCE THERE THEY FOUND A BABY LAYING IN A MANGER
A GIFT TO MANKIND FROM YOUR HEAVENLY FATHER, NOT A STRANGER
GO AHEAD GRAB ON TO BABY JESUS THIS CHRISTMAS DAY
LET HIS LIFE LEAD US TO A NEW AND BETTER WAY
