A TRIBUTE TO A VERY SPECIAL PERSON

A few years ago; exactly fifty three years ago

there was created a special word;

that even now does live to show

that it is indeed a special word

so sweet and melodious

which can interchangeably be used

with love and selflessness;

for truth and righteousness together fused

to give joy and happiness

and for God's glory and greatness used

to be praised as well as worshiped

and to thank him for his magnanimousness.

A word that is always synonymous

with family and with good relations

which builds a home of happiness

out of mere bricks, stones and mortar illusions

A word that knows for sure

that it's only gratitude and a positive attitude

that keeps us happy and forever pure.

We cannot ever measure our gratitude

to the word’s love, affection and service.

Its love knows no limitations; oh yeah!

Not acknowledging you would be a great disservice

For you who are the word, are truly called “LYDIA”

and I take this opportunity to wish you today

a very, very happy and joyous Birthday

with many more great returns of the day

and pray that you may be blessed every day.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY WIFE, FRIEND AND COMPANION “LYDIA”
