Your face lights up like a candle
With a bright, beautiful smile,
For the gift, however humble,
Is from the heart of one who cares,
Who wishes you nothing but happiness
Through all your years.
But as the days come and go,
And life settles into the same old routine,
There is no longer the glow,
For the joy you came to know
Has been replaced with worries and apprehension,
With only a few joyous moments inbetween.
The joy that made your face glow
Becomes a long lost dream;
How you wish you'd receive a gift everyday hereafter,
So the joy in your heart might last forever.
Friend, the Bible is a gift that's like no other,
For the joy it gives lasts forever;
Every page is a treasure,
And there are over one thousand of them altogether!
Study with sincerity and with much prayer
If it's your desire
To be happy forever.
