In the soft whisper of the morning's light,
It is said, with a smile so bright,
"I want to say, in words so true,
A special Happy Birthday to you.

To you my love who is so dear,
This wish I send with all cheer.
Another year, another grace,
With you, love finds its perfect place.

In every moment, every glance,
Life with you is like a dance.
A journey sweet, through highs and lows,
Together, where the heart just knows.

May this day bring joy anew,
Sunshine bright and skies so blue.
May laughter echo, love embrace,
In every corner, find its place.

For all you are and all you do,
This day, my love, is just for you.
A celebration, a wish so kind,
For the beautiful soul, in you, I find.

Happy Birthday, Dear with love so true,
From the morning light till the evening's hue.
I say and so it eternally is,
A life together, forever in bliss.

My Friends

In gatherings small, beneath the sky so wide,
My friends unknowingly become my guide.
With every laugh, a stitch in wounds unseen,
In every shared silence, my spirit leans.

Little do they know, with every jest and cheer,
They mend the cracks, make my path clear.
In cups of coffee, in walks under the moon's glow,
They're healing me, more than they'll ever know.

With tales spun from our days and dreams,
We weave a tapestry with hope's gleams.
Each hangout, a balm to my soul's cries,
In their presence, my heart's flight lies.

So here's to friends, both near and far,
Our bonds, a healing salve, a guiding star.
In every moment spent, in every shared smile,
They're stitching me back, mile after mile.

Go With God

In steps both small and leaps so grand,  
Beneath the sky, on God's vast land,  
"Go with God, and He with you,"  
A promise held, forever true.

Through valleys deep and mountains high,  
Underneath the vast, sprawling sky,  
His presence felt in every breeze,  
In whispered prayers, and rustled leaves.

With every step, His grace unfolds,  
In stories written, and tales untold,  
For when you walk with faith so clear,  
God's love surrounds, His whispers near.

In moments of joy, in times of strife,  
He walks beside you, through life's rife.  
A guiding hand, a light that leads,  
Fulfilling hopes, and tending needs.

"Go with God," a path divine,  
His footsteps yours, entwined in thine.  
For in His grace, you'll find your way,  
From dawn's first light to end of day.

And when the road turns sharp and steep,  
Remember promises He keeps.  
For with His love, you'll never roam,  
Go with God, and you're never alone.

Ewe in the Pew

In the nooks of homes, where elves might dwell,
Perched on shelves, in mischief they excel.
But beyond these games and festive cheer,
Lies a deeper call, year after year.

"Psh," says the world, with a playful scoff,
At the elf's antics, up high and aloft.
Yet amidst the tinsel, lights aglow,
There's a truth more profound we ought to know.

What Jesus seeks, in the heart's quiet hue,
Is not the elf's jest, but something true.
Not toys or games, or yuletide brew,
But the gentle presence of "ewe in a pew."

In the stillness of a church, souls come to pray,
Where echoes of faith are not far away.
It's there in the pew, under sacred roof,
We find our spirits lifted, hearts aloof.

The message is clear, in this time of glee,
Beyond the presents, beneath the tree.
It's the call to gather, in reverence anew,
For what Jesus cherishes, is "ewe in a pew."

So let the elf rest, on his wooden shelf,
As we seek deeper meaning, within ourselves.
For in the quiet of the pew, hearts renew,
In the presence of the One, forever true.

Humble Heart

In the quiet corridors of a humble heart,
Where true faith whispers, a silent art.
Not in loud proclamations does it reside,
But in gentle acts, its presence implied.

"If you think you're religious, you're probably not,"
For true Christianity is in the deeds quietly wrought.
In the shadow of service, in love's tender embrace,
Following the path Jesus did trace.

Serving others, without seeking the light,
In the calm of the day, in the still of the night.
It's in the hands that feed, in the eyes that listen,
In the steps that follow, a mission christened.

For in the fabric of the humble, the divine is sewn,
Not in grandeur, but in kindness shown.
The essence of faith, in actions soft-spoken,
In every promise kept, every bond unbroken.

True Christianity, a quiet, humble service,
A journey inward, a purposeful purchase.
In the footsteps of Jesus, a path to emulate,
A call to love, to serve, to navigate.

So let our actions speak, in whispers true,
A testament of faith, in all we do.
For in the heart of service, quietly, profoundly,
The spirit of true Christianity is found, resoundingly.

A Perfect God

In the warmth of homes, where love and chaos blend,  
No perfect family stands, but on each other, we depend.  
With laughter and tears, our broken pieces we mend,  
In our imperfect bonds, a message of love we send.

Amongst us walk, no perfect people, but seekers all the same,  
Bearing burdens, hiding pains, playing life's relentless game.  
Yet in our shared journey, there's no room for shame,  
For we are loved by a Perfect God, who calls us each by name.

But we have a Perfect God, in His grace, we find our peace,  
In His unwavering love, our searching souls release.  
Amen, we whisper, in a prayer that does not cease,  
For in His perfection, our imperfections find their ease.

So let us walk together, in our imperfect state,  
Guided by His perfect light, through every twist of fate.  
In every church, every home, let His love permeate,  
For with our Perfect God, a perfect love we create.
