My Bday Poem For Melvon Poem by MELVIN BANGGOLLAY

M-elvon, a fruit of thine name
Whose smile bewilder fame
Today as you again luckily gain
Another year of great refrain.

E-ven if I can't give you a gift
With glittering wrap that drift
Upon the ocean's great rift,
I gave nothing but prayer's lift.

L-et every drop of sweat lain
Upon thy shoulder's pain
As sun burn your arm's chain
Go on as you sail away to gain.

V-ines may entangle mischief
Upon thy way even with grief
But don't be afraid to drift
With a prayer's great relief

O-ver every hill I proclaim
Every beat my love I claim
For you with the life I gain,
my love will always remain.

N-ever give up amidst life strife
Even those that hardens life
But strive to amend your fate
With prudence of thy faith.

belated hapi b-day Melvon Neil last October 3
sori I have not given you a gift at all
but with God's grace, have more to come
