Happy Birthday, Dear Child! Poem by Dr John Celes

Happy Birthday, Dear Child!



Each birthday tells you that you are
Much older, day by day!
And that you are a brighter star,
That shines in heaven's way!

Remember that your health is first,
Apart from loving God;
Obedience to your parents, Christ,
Will spare you from all rod!

We must grow wiser by the years,
And live pious, life-time;
With Christ beside, we shouldn't have fears,
As God gives us good clime.

We do not live by strength, our own,
But by God's blessings, grace!
And speak alive, and not by phone,
And keep a pleasant face!

‘Happy Birthday, Dear Cathy! '
Most lovingly wished by your dearest
mom Mercy, sister Diana and dad Dr. Celestine
