Marty. Might he? Older, bolder!

Well "Happy Birthday Marty" older man
(& one day later than I should have been
if my wish was on time, but then again...
some better things than "Happy" have been seen.

. .. could celebrate the day of your old birth
on any day that we were glad you came
(were SENT by God to live on this old Earth);
since then "born from above" brings on no shame.

In fact it brings more glory than could be
imagined, since what HE's gone to prepare
is better than ear heard, or eye could see;
that's whether it's on Earth, or in the air.

And since we know the new life that HE brings
is grown and matures fully in the hard-
hard places, and hard times, & sufferings,
a "Blessed Birthday" makes a better card.

For maybe on this Earthday we could bless..
bless you with all the joy and peace that's yours,
the middle of this old Earth's bloody mess,
as God's love to & through you daily pours.
