On this special day may you be filled with blessings, 
Joy and peace with close friends and loved ones;
Contentment in all that life brings. 
You were chosen and given a mission,
Remain true to your faith, uplift lost souls;
Bring light through Him, to all that you envision.
Persevere on this journey to reach ignorant lives, 
May your spirit be uplifting and bear much fruit;
For The Word of God always revives.
The road is not easy – let it not take you down;
For Heaven’s eternity, the battle must prevail,
To God is the glory and to you the crown.
