Donna -Your Birthday Poem by Kathryn Tyler King

Although I can't be there this day
I want you to know you're loved anyway.
Your steadfastness and loyalty true,
Your care for others is not new.

I watch you as you work so hard
At all you do pleasing God by far.
The greatest Gift that one can give
is to love unconditionally and live.

You're in our prayers. You're heart is good.
Your importance to me and Richard should
settle any questions in your dear mind how,
you've served others and have been so kind.

Please forgive us for not being there,
as you celebrate your birthday affair.
I appreciated all you did when I came
to celebrate my fiftieth, the years to blame.

But you stood out then as you do now.
Your excellent spirit of patience and how
you've struggled as we all must do,
and somehow it di not show through.
