My Birthday Wish
By Bunny Chong,
Soldotna, Hawaii Girl now Alaskan
This year my birthday will be a glorious milestone for me
Because I get to celebrate reaching the grand age of seventy
It’s not a milestone because I have lived these many years,
It’s because I’m blessed with enjoying a life full of cheers
But I have loved ones who encounter challenges sent their way
They face those trials with faith in God thru each difficult day
I know that my journey would have been different without Him
They also believe God has a plan for them and trust it isn’t dim
So my 70TH birthday wish will become my new prayer “creed”
Dear God please BLESS my loved ones with ALL that they need
And Lord God do show me how I can help them in their fight
Their battles aren’t what I had to face so I want to do it right
Again, I thank You Lord, for your gift that opened the door
To let me be a daughter, a sister, a wife, a mother, and more
Thanks for the family that surrounds me, for friends who care
I know that YOU sent them otherwise none would be there
I love YOU and Honor YOU and praise YOU with all my heart
And I THANK YOU, Lord, for being with me right from the start
You have brought me this far with Your love and protection
May Your blessings for my family move in the same direction!
