Sing, My Loved One! Sing of All the Glory

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. This week’s theme is joy.

Today’s poem is a 60^th birthday poem wishing a loved one joy in life.

I welcome comments on my poems at http://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com.

Yours,

Nick Gordon

Sing, my loved one! Sing of all the glory

In which for every moment you have lived!

Xylophones accompany your song,

That, played by angels, help us sing along,

Yielding harmony to grace your story.

Years have added luster to your soul,

Each, though not all what you would, a gift.

As now we wish you more – to live in joy,

Rejoicing in a love none can destroy,

Such love of life as makes one strong and whole.
