My, my time has quickly passed
Just yesterday, you came unexpectedly fast
The moment I saw you, you became my special angel
There were so many plans God had for you I could tell
Watching you grow has been frightful, yet wonderful journey
From daddy’s little girl, to worried teenager, to mother of
three
Many special moments flood my memory
You with lifted arms saying, “Hold you me”
You in the ring swing from the oak tree in the backyard
Saying, “Higher daddy, push me high and hard”
You riding down the sidewalk making the Bigwheel tire flat
To learning to drive the car, just like that
The many volleyball practices that we spent together
Sharing doubts, hopes, and dreams to make things better
The places, sights, and things that we have shared
From a multitude of the world’s problems God has spared
The journey to this day, your 45th birthday, has
had it bumps
It is good that God forgives and throws all our wrongs in
the dump
I have, and always will, love “my special angel” sent from
above
Just remember there is nothing greater than a Father’s love
It seems as yesterday that you were little with monsters in
her hair
Daddy trying to get them out in tender care as in the mirror
we stare
At that moment not realizing all the things that God would
allow
Having faith that the Lord up would honor our prayers as we
bow
When troubles and sorrows toss you and you think you will
drown
Your old dad will be praying that the Lord put you back on
solid ground
Happy Birthday Angel
Love Dad
