Laura Birthday Ode

Laura Birthday Ode
(c) ARC 11/15/15

I glowed with the pregnancy; knew girl was to be second birth.
I was in my prime; life enriched to fulfillment worth.

I talked to her; explained 15 meaningful date.
Oct. due, came and passed; told her: OK to be late.

November 15 expected rain; she let me know it was time.
Drive took longer than expected; but made it to St. Jude’s just fine.

Doctor confirmed 10 month baby; perfect in every way.
Nursing her ultimate joy; bless her always, I did pray.

She now celebrates forty seven; all touched by her are blessed.
Laura is grace personified; best of traits modeled/professed.

2015 is year of culmination dreams; 15 again meaningful number.
Now has blessed wife, gorgeous home; son soon to honor home peaceful slumber.

Daughter has gone above/beyond love for me; nurturing, protecting, inspiring, sharing.
Dear Hashem, bless and reward her perpetually; my prayers are indefatigable in caring.

I Said A Prayer For You Today

I said a prayer for you today+++
AssociationRenaissanceCreators@yahoo.com © November 15, 2015

I have a very long daily prayer list for personal and generic:
Family, friends, neighbors, associates, plus those who are sick.

I love praying for inspirational role models who we tout:
Most are called by name – those I know or read about.

Ones who share, give, care, and sacrifice for all of divine `I AM’:
Like Mother Teresa, St. Vincent de Paul, Sir Ludwig Guttmann.

I pray to multiply exponentially in each and every one:
Health, Wealth, Grace, Wisdom, Serenity, Peace, Fun.

I am faithful in my daily prayers like rainbow and sun ray:
May sacred beneficence from on High be yours in every way.
