You have seen many days and years go by
and not all of them have been so fine.
Many days have brought you joys and cheers
and some only brought you much tears and fears.
To you, they were stepping stones
for you never gave up on your faith-filled hopes.
You have grown so strong and so tall,
seems like yesterday we played and talked.
As the little one I have looked up to you always.
Your faith strengthened me and your laughter lifted me.
Like the flame of light you are a bundle of hope,
for in all things your faith is strong.
Everyday we thank God for blessings
but today we than God only for you.
He has given us many gifts
but today we celebrate only you.
You are a son, a grandson, a brother, a friend, a leader and a neighbor,
your roles are countless, but they all sum up to one word
“blessing”.
You are “ a blessing.”
Now as you count the years and witness God’s grace,
look back with thanksgiving and ahead with self-assurance,
for twenty-one years is just the beginning.
