Happy 70th Birthday
I was encouraged to write this acrostic poem when my sister indicated how well this lady received my card sent to her husband who was in the hospital. She said in jest that she was looking forward to receiving a card too but for her 70th birthday.
Psalm 90:10
10The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.
Psalm 90:10
10The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.

Happy 70th Birthday Coming
up here in my neighborhood A
lady at the corner did all that she could Raised
up her girls mostly on her own Made
them welcome years after they were long grown Every
time I saw her she seemed always rushed Never
idle or frolicking always pleasantly hushed Can’t
believe this slim formed lady is as old as she says Lord
I know she’d never lie about her number of days And
yet your faithful servant hardly seems to be Retirement
age and by her constant rush, ready. Kind
are the years to her at threescore years and ten Enjoy
this and many other Birthdays My Sister in Christ, Carmen |
