Happy birthday dear parents of me.... 


Happy birthday dear parents of me...


Our God is the God who redeems, 

and uses the stuff 

that makes life very tough 

to start off more life-giving streams.


The three score years, and ten; 

are starting off again 

in body weak-en-ing 

but spirit being weaned 


from God as source of gifts 

as mother's milk insists 

on helping us enlist, 

and keep us in these bods 

as tiny baby gods. 


And "weaning" has no meaning 

of "no more help or fuss" 

from who gave suck (herself did tuck 

our food and drink in us); 


although, it does mean change, 

it's less focussed on nappies, 

and friendships re-arrange 

as we grow up, less "sappy". 


Love you two too.
