Happy Birthday, Dear Daughter Dr. Diana Poem by Dr John Celes

The grass is greener here than everywhere!
The air is cleaner here than much elsewhere;
The soil is fertile more than anywhere;
The water tastes much better only here.

Just think about the good things, we enjoy;
Your heart mustn't yearn for unfound, unknown joy;
Just love the blessings, God has given you;
God gives you life for duty to well do.

Remember time is precious-most in life;
God tests your love by giving you some strife;
The love of parents, siblings are foremost;
Avoid words harsh that stay at any cost.

Remind yourself of fleeting life on earth;
Remember God's purpose for your soul's birth;
Reset your life with priorities good;
Smiles and laughter are life's splendid food!

Life worthwhile turns when others learn to smile;
Life-span increases when you rest awhile;
Achieving feats should not affect your health;
Money alone in life isn't real wealth.

Enjoy your birthday, thanking God from heart;
You learn to stay happy just like an art;
Just watch your words that hurt and wound loved ones;
But pray always for God's mercy in tons.
From your loving mom, sister and dad
