BIRTHDAYS ARE A
GIFT FROM GOD
by HELEN STEINER RICE WHERE DOES TIME GO IN ITS ENDLESS FLIGHT-
SPRING TURNS TO FALL AND DAY TO NIGHT,
AND BIRTHDAYS COME AND BIRTHDAYS GO
AND WHERE THEY GO WE DO NOT KNOW...
BUT GOD WHO PLANNED OUR LIFE ON EARTH
AND GAVE OUR MIND AND BODY BIRTH
AND THEN ENCLOSED A LIVING SOUL
WITH HEAVEN AS THE SPIRIT'S GOAL
HAS GIVEN MAN THE GIFT OF CHOICE
TO FOLLOW THAT SMALL INNER VOICE
THAT SPEAKS TO US FROM YEAR TO YEAR
REMINDING US WE'VE NAUGHT TO FEAR...
FOR BIRTHDAYS ARE A STEPPING-STONE
TO ENDLESS JOYS AS YET UNKNOWN,
SO FILL EACH DAY WITH HAPPY THINGS
AND MAY YOUR BURDENS ALL TAKE WINGS
AND FLY AWAY AND LEAVE BEHIND
GREAT JOY OF HEART AND PEACE OF MIND...
FOR BIRTHDAYS ARE THE GATEWAY TO
AN ENDLESS LIFE OF JOY FOR YOU
IF YOU BUT PRAY FROM DAY TO DAY
THAT HE WILL SHOW YOU THE TRUTH AND THE WAY.
You are blessed You are a blessing anything that seeks to intimidate you shall rather be intimidated Anything that tries to limit you shall be limited anything that tries to frustrate you shall be frustrated anything that tries to frighten you shall be frightened You are unstoppable because God is with you therefore men cannot stop you because God is with you the devil and all his demons cannot stop you because greater is God who is in you than the devil who is in the world God is not interested in stopping you for He is the one ordering your steps Child of God You are unstoppable because God is with you and in you.
