27 - Its My Favourite

This is undoubtedly my favourite one
the number of all numbers twenty-seven
so often it's meant so very much to me
a blessed number sent down from heaven

Firstly I was born upon that date
on the twenty-seventh December 1953
the day God brought me into the world
this day never be forgotten in my history

In my great love for God's holy scriptures,
my favourite Psalm is 27 without a doubt
telling of the fact that God is my salvation
believing on Jesus and His gospel I shout

Daniel is no 27 in the Bible's list of books
my fav story is Daniels escape in lion's den
for God rescued him for Daniel had real trust
knowing his saviour would be his true friend

Now been married for nearly 30 years
wed on 27th April 1990 to lovely Christine
another date etched in the memory of time
a very special day my mind upon to lean

So the number 27 to me is special
very often being providential in my days
makes one very thankful on its effect
to my God who faithfully with me stays

A lucky and pre-destined number indeed my friend - 27 - such important events in your life and wonderful verse and list of books (Daniel) in the Bible which are your favourites. It is always such a blessed feeling to be married to someone so special, I hope you and Christine have many, many more happy years together Gordon. A Birthday 2 days after Christmas, a friend of mine is also born on the 27th Dec. and always got a present less which she got on her birthday. Hugs, blessings, Jennifer.

How cool that a number pertains to multiple blessings in your life. Learned a bit more about you in this write and I enjoyed doing so. I'm a fifty's baby, too, but towards the end of the decade. Last line/3rd stanza, I think you meant to type 'in' and 'on'. Always nice to share time within someone who KNOWS they are my sibling thru our shared Father. I enjoyed this sharing very much.
