BECAUSE
 
  Things happen in our lives each day
  That often leave us in dismay.
  I can not pretend to understand
  We just follow God's command. 
  
  When sky's look grey and life
  looks bleak
  Always for the rainbow seek.
  For at the end's a pot of gold,
  It shall be yours, so you were told!
  
  Life isn't always sweet and fair
  With the pain that lingers
  there.
  But try to see the new born day,
  Which brings fresh new hopes your way.
  
  Each birthday means you have finished
  Another year, gone and now diminshed.
  The future's coming, looking bright
  So hold on darling with you might.
  
  Know I love you from my heart,
  And I am here to do my part
  To listen, hear you when you cry
  And to calm you when you ask "why".
  
  Have a HAPPY BIRTHDAY 
  Dedicated to my "on-line daughter.
