This is it!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

This is the day that you were born 30 years ago!
Your life, a gift from God above, has touched my own life so.
You represent the beautiful things a Christian's heart should hold.
My love for you, a flame lit and burns, will never, not ever grow cold.

How can I speak of this wonderful day when you came into this world,
And not say that although walking was hard :) you arrived and you have soared?
Your life emanates a graciousness and an acceptance that is so pure
Along life's path, in these 30 years, you've helped God minister and cure

Those one's of us, who find it hard to become what we were meant,
Beyond a doubt, I know today that's the reason YOU were sent.
You've been so sturdy and supportive in whatever season we've been through
You've been a faithful and constant friend, disregarding mismatched shoes!

Bringing glory to God's name, your years upon this earth...
I know God looks upon you and is proud on the day of your birth.
But not this day specifically, a day more marked in time-
is the day you gave your heart to Him and rang the heavenly chime.

A celestial party like none has ever seen was going on that day
For you, a child of the Most High, who would seek after His Ways
Your birth into His kingdom, as significant as your birth here on earth
Happy Birthday, beautiful Lover of God, May you truly feel your worth!


I love you Shannon!
Happy Birthday!
