Happy Birthday to BOTH of my WONDERFUL SISTERS!!!

(a poem I wrote for Jenn's 30th)

To my wonderfully talented, beautiful, kind-hearted sister Jenn,
on her 30th Birthday…

June the nineteenth is quite a special day,
For that is when she entered the world, and stole their hearts away.

Jim and Janice could finally be called Mom and Dad,
Which make lots of people awfully glad.

They decided on Jennifer Leann as her name,
And softball, singing, and chasing boys would be her best games.

She always stayed quite busy at school,
Not so much with studying, but all the kids knew she was cool.

People would drive from miles around to hear her sweet voice sing;
Then it was time to celebrate, for she was graduating from King!

She went to FC and joined all the groups.
She toured with the “Friends”, and her belt ran out of loops!

They bought her new pants to wear on the stage,
Many named her “Fat Girl” which caused her no rage.

She then lived with April off of Bruce B. Downs.
Those days were filled with fun and laughter; there was no time to frown.

She went on four dates,
And just like that…she found her mate!

His name was John Byron, and he sang her nice songs,
But many thought he wanted to see her thong.

The wedding day quickly arrived,
And thanks to many prayers, Janice survived.

Addresses; they’ve had too many,
But all were smart moves to save their pennies.


Then along came a gift,
That gave everyone a MUCH needed lift.

Her name was Sweet Selah, an angel from above.
She came at the perfect time bringing with her hope, joy and love.

By becoming a mother, her heart continued to grow.
What would come next? Who could know?

She wanted to share the amazing gift of motherhood.
Although most doubted, she knew in her heart that she could.

And for her special new friends, she carried two precious babies,
Both of which are growing fast into lovely little ladies.

Those who witnessed her strength stood in awe at the door,
For no act so unselfish had any one of us ever seen before.

So what comes next for this beautiful young woman?
Some may be asking?

Many years filled with peace, success, laughter and MUCH love…
For THAT is everlasting!

May God continue to bless and protect you my sweet sister,
All my love,
James
