How are you?
It's your birthday. Again.
I doubt if you really grow old
Or if you have any age
How do you celebrate?
Maybe not with balloons or cake
Do you sit down with friends
or joke around with your angels?
I know you like music
You like to be praised
You enjoy seeing people
dancing and singing
I thought I know you
But my wisdom is too little
to understand you
So, I wish to know you more
In my eyes, you are no longer a lamb
who is meek and never proud
You are a strong lion. A brave king
Who owns everything
You do what you like.
You control the future
You erase the past
You own the present
You own my thoughts. My heart.
Everything that surrounds me is yours
I cannot hide from you, even if I want to
You are the God I have to bow down to
Those good things you gave me
are never mine
Things that I love, you take them
Anytime you need them back
What can I do?
I cannot complain. I can only cry.
You remind me all the time
You are the King. I am but a servant.
Everything is borrowed.
Everything is lent
I came to this world alone
For my life is borrowed too
I write this with a sad heart
But I do not hate you
I will not hate you
I will still thank you
You are my God
I will not bow down to any other gods
On your birthday
This is my promise to you
I thank you for all the good things
you lent me this year
Thank you for remembering to bless me
I have questions. But I will trust you.
I hope if you are going to lend
me another good thing
Please make it stay longer
and remind me that you are gracious
I cannot go to Heaven to greet you personally
So just read my thoughts and my heart.
Be loving to me and send my greetings
to those that I love who are now...in Heaven
Have a Happy Birthday Jesus!
