Happy Birthday Jesus

Happy birthday Jesus, I'm sorry I have no gift to bring. There is nothing that I own, befitting to give a king. I don’t have a drum on which I can play you a song. I try to say I love you but my words just come out all wrong. I would love to give you my boat so you can sail out on the sea. Then I remembered you walk on water and thought how silly that would be. Then I thought of my pickup with its heated leather seats. You could drive it out in the country or cruise down our simple city streets. I love my old truck, but it has a lot of miles and it’s worn a bit. Then I thought your throne in heaven is probably a much nicer place to sit. I have two things that I treasure and I use here every day. I actually got them from you and they’ve helped to guide my way. I have my paper and pen with these two gifts from you I write. I’ll fill this paper with love and swing my pen with all of my might. I give you my heart and soul with every letter and word I can find. Happy Birthday Jesus, please accept this gift from me in kind.

The best present you could give him is to follow the path he has shown us and living by his teachings. Tom

You've created your lines as though they were a prayer to our Savior, and it bestows upon Him the honor He and His Father were meant to have. I liked it very much, Mark.
