Queen for a Day
Posted: July 15, 2023
My friend Dorothy England celebrates her 100th birthday this week…
there’s a challenge to be sure.
It’s called blowing out those candles on your cake.
The cause of global warming
is there right before your eyes.
And the heat from all those flames is no mistake.
But the upside of this birthday
is the chance to reminisce
recalling all you’ve done these many years.
You’re amazing. You’re a trophy
of our God’s amazing grace.
You have faced what life has dealt with joy and tears.
And this rest stop on life’s journey
provides time to catch your breath
as you bask in all the love that comes your way.
There are cards and gifts and flowers,
there are visits from dear friends
who remind you that you’re Queen this special day.
