FOR EMILY ON HER 8TH BIRTHDAY
Dear Emily you grow more sweet and lovely each day,
More kind and thoughtful, a good big sister in every way,
A good example for your light shines always so bright
As you strive hard to follow Jesus and choose the right.
Happy birthday Emily, and now you are eight years old
You are ready to be baptized and join the happy fold,
Receive the Holy Ghost so you can have Him close by
To be a guide, lead you, be by you when in sleep you lie.
Have a wonderful birthday Emily for many wish you well,
As you keep being good and kind your heart with love swell,
You will be a light burning bright for those all about you see
And you’ll be worthy be to together as a forever loving family.
