One More Year – a poem
ONE MORE YEAR
a poem by Simon Camilleri on his 37th birthday
Today I turn 37
One more year closer to heaven
One more year further from birth
One more year of life on earth
One more year to live this life
One more year to love my wife
One more year to raise my baby
Four more months to get sleep… maybe
One more year to serve and bless
To write the scripts for GSF
To direct a great carols event
To help guys fight the elephant
One more year to know God’s grace
To grow in love and hope and faith
To each day live closer to Christ
And daily thank him for this life
I’m 37 for one more year
Yikes… 40 is now feeling near
(1578)
Brilliant. You have a gift
Thanks Simon, for reminding us of the important things in life. Happy Birthday.
