Toms Surprise 80th Birthday Party
Tom’s Surprise 80th Birthday Party
Haskell F.W.B. Church
12-5-2018
My spring of life contained pregnant clouds,
Almost as if suspended by parachute shrouds;
Now, winter has painted it with shades of grey,
But then, eighty years, has been a lengthy stay.
Now, last night, for me a surprise 80th birthday party,
Fellowship, gifts, and cake / cookies were hearty.
While it had my pulse at an undefined place,
I enjoyed these friends that shared my space;
For I found myself surrounded by friends who care,
Those who have petitioned God, for me, in prayer;
I owe long life to the living God that I’m serving,
I’m blessed and highly favored but undeserving.
My witness for Him will not become diminished,
Until such time that He declares my life finished.
