Granted Wishes

I wish I was a crust of bread;

I would ease your hunger.



I wish I was a drop of water;

I would quench your thirst.



I wish I was a grain of sand;

I would travel through out the land.



I wish I was a bird's feather;

I would carry your words everywhere.



These are a few of the many things

You have done for me in such a

short period of time.



Thirty-three years you cared,

loved and shared.



In your thirty-third year You

gave Your life so,

our sins may be forgiven.



You honor Thy Father

and accomplished miracles,

so, our life will be worth living.
