Tonight's post is in honor of my middle child who turns 15 years old tomorrow. But I am thinking of using this poem for each of my children on their birthdays from now on.
God's gift you are to me
to watch over while you're here,
to keep you safe from danger and evil,
to show you love and care.
I pray for you daily -
for your spiritual and physical growth.
To love you always and forever
is my solemn oath.
So as you add another year
of time here on this earth,
I reflect on all the joy
you've brought me since your birth.
Happy Birthday, child of mine,
so blessed am I to know
that God watches over you night and day
as you continue to grow.
