Today is my Birthday,
Oh me, oh My.
Another year older.
Now I sigh.
What am I doing?
What will I be.
Now that I'm older.
I can't wait to see.
A mother, a Grandma.
A wife that's true.
But what do I want to be
When all is thru.
I want to be as Christ like
As I can be
So that other may see him living in me.
I want him to be proud
That I'm his daughter that's true
But to be more like him is what I strive to do.
Helping those who are in need is a given
And letting him fight the fight with my inner man.
I want others to see what my Jesus can do.
By living my life by his Good word is all I can do.
So it is my birthday, the day I was born
I was always meant to be a part of his great plan.
So as I grow older, and wiser I hope.
Let Jesus speak through me, with his brite light.
So others my know him and live.
