This is a part of a collection of poems, stories, and short plays, written over many years to mark a particular occasion. Some were produced for use in church or church magazines, school events, and especially for birthdays, anniversaries, personal moments, and family happenings.

As many a poet has discovered, once you embark on writing poems for the wifes birthday, wedding anniversaries, and so forth, it becomes an expected contribution, and there is no way

out of itbut it is still good fun, and I would suggest readers should try it for themselves.

I hope the reader will find some items for encouragement in their Christian walk with God, together with others to bring a smile on their face.
