Celebrate The Gift Of Life Poem by John Sensele

Celebrate the gift of life, John
God bequeathed on Anne over six decades ago
To launch lofty luminaries his plan in a zeal zone
Where you landed in a competence and confidence cargo.

Celebrate, John, the gift of offspring
God bequeathed on your nuclear family
To launch liberty lessons in his grand design in Spring
When he blessed you alongside a holy homily.

Celebrate, John, the gift of discernment
God bequeathed on your person
To launch lasting liberties beneath Heavens' firmament
A quintessential salvation lesson.

Celebrate, John, grandsons
God bequeathed through Elizabeth
To launch love within his creation suns
Planets, moons, stars and your planet Earth.

Celebrate, John, the gift of education
God bequeathed on your life
To combat and cream miseducation
That otherwise plunges his creation into somber strife.

Celebrate, John, the gift of friends
God bequeathed on your relationship realm
To set in motion timely trends
With Reverend Ugo Nacciarone at the helm.

Celebrate, John, the gift of students
God bequeathed on your career
To set milestone precedents
With freedom, favour and flair that accommodate no single barrier.
