Birthday Tribute

A Poem by Natalie C

A little Birthday Wish for Gary H whose birthday is tomorrow, 29 March

Photobucket

Little pieces of light
Flickering strands of bursting delight
Ignites rainbow coloured candles
Admirably towering a decadent chocolate layered cake
One by one, we lit them all
Celebrating each year of your precious life

A life where you have unconditionally shone
Through all the compassion, love and peace
Spilling from your heart, so big
Never complaining
Never asking for more
This is a tribute to you,

To the amazing person that you are
Enlightening every one else�s life
Whom always sees a person�s needs
Just by being there when no one cared
Carefully lifting them up
Higher that ever imagined

Allow the heavens chorus to fill
Your whole body, mind and soul
As the angels rejoice with us today
Commemorating days past
Admiring the person you have become
And blessing many still to come
Hoping that you would have a wonderful one

Golden harps sets the tone
As we thank God for the gift He gave
Remembering your life
Not by the hardships you survived
But by all the smiles you gave
Of all the differences you so lovingly made

Happy birthday Gary
May all the love that you gave
Come back to you in so many wonderful ways
Hoping that God�s grace
Keeps you safe for countless years still to come

This was lovely to read, and got even better when I saw who it was dedicated to. He is so deserving of these lovely, sincere words. I'm glad I read them, and I sure as hell celebrate the fact that he is alive! Bon anniversaire, Gary!

I love your expression here. It's funny how my favorite verses lie at the very beginning.
So glad to be a part of this. Well done, Natalie! x

A lovely poem for a lovely man. (sorry I missed your birthday Gary!!!)
The music adds a beautiful touch to the caring words.
He is very deserving of this tribute and I'm glad you wrote it for him, I'm sure it means a lot to him.

Natalie, this is one of the most beautiful tributes that I've ever read. The photo, the music...
and the touching verse. You two are so lucky to share such a special relationship. Gary
is one of the most brilliant and compassionate men that I have ever encountered on the
internet. He is indeed precious, and he illuminates all those who cross his path. His heart,
his desire for peace...his gift...has now become our gift. How magnificent, Natalie. This one
brought tears to my eyes. Into the favs.
X
Happy Birthday, Gary!
