Three Years Old
Poet: Jennie Harrison
Three little paces traveled, all on the grass of life.
Pure from dust of the highway, safe from the heat of strife;
Oh, for the feet unwearied, oh, for the unknown way.
Pause we amid our gladness, lifting our hearts to pray!
Three little glances taken, all through the sunlit air.
Free from the shades of sorrow, clear from the mists of care;
Oh, for the eyes unclouded, oh, for the unseen way,
Cease we amid our smiling, bending our lips to pray!
Three little blossoms gathered all in the dewy morn.
Safe from the blight of noonday, free from the wounding thorn;
Oh, for the eager fingers, oh, for the barren way,
Rest we our glad embraces, folding our hands to pray!
Three little crowns worn lightly, all of life-jewels rare;
Pure from the worthless metal, free from the weight of care;
Oh, for the brow unaching, oh, for the Cross-marked way,
Cease we our proud rejoicing, bowing our heads to pray!
Three little pages numbered, all with their story bright,
Clear from the blot of trouble, pure from the stain of blight;
Oh, for the heart unknowing, oh, for the untold way,
Pause we amid our singing, hushing our tones to pray!
Three little years! oh, heavenly, threefold cord of Love,
Father and Son and Spirit, reach from the throne above,
Wind round our darling closely, guide her through all the way!
Be this the birthday gift that shall answer us while we pray! -
Turning Four
Poet: C. A. Lynch
We can't believe you're turning four
It was only yesterday you crawled on the floor
Now look at you four years old
You are no longer a baby we can hold.
We will sing you a song
Happy Birthday but not too long
As presents, you want to open them now
We wish you a day filled with WOW! -
And Now Your Five
Poet: Tom S. Gold
Five years old where did the time go
You are growing up, that we know
We hope the day is a special one
Full of laughter and lots of fun.
And may the coming year bring
Lots of happiness and good things.
We send you lots of birthday love
Of you, we are very fond of! -
Happy 6th, Little Explorer
Poet: Tom S. Gold
On your special day, let's celebrate with cheer,
Happy 6th birthday, our little pioneer!
With your bright eyes full of wonder and glee,
You fill our days with joy and endless esprit.
In your world of make-believe, you're a star,
Crafting adventures near and far.
From superheroes to dragons that soar,
Your imagination knows no bounds anymore.
With each new day, your knowledge grows,
Counting stars and tying bows.
Six years of laughter, love, and play,
Learning new things in your own sweet way.
So here's to you, our little friend so dear,
May your year ahead be full of cheer!
Happy birthday, little explorer, so bold,
With a heart of gold and stories untold.
