A Birthday Gift

August 12, 2022

The ripe old age of seven five,
I’m grateful still to be alive.
It seems that with each passing year,
I cherish days and hold them dear.

When I was asked to leave, retire,
I found new ways I could inspire,
Wrote books for children, fun to read,
And in their hearts to plant a seed.

God prompted me in quiet time
To share my heart with words of rhyme.
My wife then urged me, “Set them free.
Don’t hide the words, let others see.”

This birthday gift I share with you,
“Reach out to God. His love is true.”
