Happy Birthday 🌻

Happy Birthday 🌻
"Maybe she'd enjoy a poem"
I thought to myself the other day
“Yeah I could do that,
And take the time to tell her all the things I wish to say.”


I would to start by saying happy birthday!
May you gleefully enjoy your day! 🙏🏾

I pray that life only gets better for you….
As the “camels loaded with blessings” still march toward your way!


It wasn’t just your beautiful smile,
(Though that mental picture is a memory still treasured inside)
It wasn’t just your sweet personality
That filled my heart with pride


It may have been your love for God
(Yes, they informed me of all the kingdom work you do..
For my pastors had only good things to tell me,
when I inquired of them concerning you)


I admired you for your boldness,
taking initiative even though you were really nervous,
The will to get to know me,
led to mini conversations after service…


It wasn’t long before I saw the real “you”
(the child you were from the beginning)
I understood all of your fears and dreams
And yet I saw us, together in life… winning!!!


I saw the vision before me,
the ring, proposal, and wedding
With God as the 3rd cord (in our marriage)
We took that step, no longer fretting


I saw our home filled with love and laughter,
"SJ" running around with Evelyn
And you with your hand on your hip praying
“God, why did those kids only take after their father?!”


I want all of this with you…
better yet I will share it with no one else!
My decision will still be the same,
even when life tries to get complex.


I thought of what I would get you for your birthday,
a poem seemed like a good start
So forgive me if this was a little too deep,
I just wanted it to be from the heart


The next time I see my little love,
I will have a gift for you in hand,
But for now will you please accept this note
As my little way to say happy birthday


To my friend, my queen, my little sunflower,
(May you never forget who you are)
May this day bring you joy and peace,
May God keep you wrapped in His arms


I love you and I’m praying for you,
(may you never forget that!)
Remember, my family already loves you,
I know because I can hear it in our little chats


So with every gift on today and every blessing that's in store
May you know when you remember me
That you are appreciated, honored, and adored!!!

Happy birthday Taneyah! Love you boo!!
