E-ach one drops as we wallow

R-eminiscing the day he was born
I-nduces joyfulness to his heart; 
C-elebrating eleventh January morn
A-dds bliss to his emotional part.
R-eunion of each family member 
D-elights them as they gather together;
O-ne cheerful occasion is held on the birthday of my wife's father....

N-ice one big occasion
E-nds the cold lonely night; 
I-t's a huge celebration
L-etting day set things aright.

A-ugust twenty-eighth morn
R-efreshes the whole moment; 
E-arly light beneath the sky
L-ets you feel the excitement.
L-arge amount of rapture
A-dds joy to jubilation; 
N-ew dawn breaks to make
O-ne big nice occasion....

M-oment of your life 
A-dds hue to the day and night; 
R-ight there the gray 
I-s nowhere in 
S-ight. 

A-nother moment of your life 
N-ow shines so bright; 
U-nderneath the blue sky, 
L-et the coal clouds turn white. 
A-llow the heavenly wisdom to keep you far from strife; 
O-n the eleventh of March, it's the moment of your life....

Y-our birthday has come, 
E-arly eighteenth March morn; 
N-ew dawn has broken, 
G-reeting the day you were born.

R-ise of the sun begins, 
A-iming to warm your heart; 
S-hadows and darkness
O-f the cold night depart.
N-either wealth nor wisdom
A-dds even a minute or a second; 
B-elieve in the gospel of truth, 
L-ong for life without
E-nd....

Joy she spreads and shares 
adds Life to our days,
years have gone by thus
and yet fresh - Life stays,
souls like her stir us
here and now, her ways
reward all our lives;
each day may she always
emerge blossoming Lives.

S-oar against all odds, 
A-bove the clouds in the sky; 
R-each the silver lining, 
A-im to fly so
H-igh.

M-ove on against all odds, 
A-llow your heart to glow; 
E-ven though your mind is filled with so much sorrow.

R-ise against all odds, 
O-bliterate the doubt; 
N-o reason to fall down, 
Q-uit not or never walk out.
U-nderneath the heaven, 
I-dentify the false gods; 
L-et the thirteenth of September
L-ive against all
O-dds....

J-ust make a plan of action 
A-nd assure big victory; 
R-ight goal gives advantage, 
W-inning over wrong strategy. 
I-ntroduce new ideas that make your aim attainable; 
N-ever close your mind in order to be successful. 

C-oncrete plan of action 
A-dds hope to the objective; 
P-repare your heart and soul, 
U-ntil you finally achieve. 
N-ever fail to do details, bring laxness to oblivion; 
O-n the twelfth of July, fulfill your plan of action....

A-s the sun starts to shine, 
N-ight shadows disappear; 
A-fter the dark is gone, 
B-irthday girl knows no fear.
E-vening silence has turned into sound of morning delight; 
L-onely dusk has changed into dawn burning bright.

M-onth of January each year
A-s the twenty-ninth daybreak begins; 
N-ew light from the sky
A-dds clarity to my visual sense.
L-et the Lord defend you from the minions of darkness; 
O-utsmart the enemies of faith and you shall gain sweet success....
