Happy Birthday Joel!

Happy Birthday Sweet Joel

Through all I have endured
Happiness and sorrow, love and pain.
One constant assurance for me remains.
Your guiding, shining, loving heart,
dedication that survives the test of time.

I have yet to find myself.
I have still many trials to rise above.
Still you accept me for who I am.
You believe in me, and your devotion shines through;
stupid mistakes, selfish heartaches and all.

A myriad of pain your eyes have survived.
Yet hope forever rises on your horizon.
Sweet words from you, like heaven above;
your uplifting, encouraging view
always so steadfast and true.

So on this your special day, from my special place
I thank God for bringing you to me.
Joyfully, I return the love you have given.
Your life is a gift, given you from Above.
Yet I have sweetly received the treasure that you are.

    Wow that was a wonderful piece. And I hope Joel enjoyed it, I just noticed their comment...nevermind, I know Joel enjoyed and and I enjoyed it to. A piece written for a loved one is hard to write. You are always thinking what they will think when or if they read it. But I truelly enjoyed this piece and thought it was very well written and thought through. Best of luck in the future -jen-

    Theresa, a wonderful bithday wish you have here! Words that come from your heart, as I know how deeply you care for Joel. He must be, I'm sure he is a great person! And no wonder, he was born under the sign of Cancer

    Kisses and hugs,
