      My Devotions and Poems Just for You - Linda Fortner

      Happy Birthday

      Some cousins are special,

      And some are not.

      But, lucky you, you fall

      In the first slot.

      Since you were little,

      I’ve always been glad

      To have you for a cousin,

      Even when you made me mad.

      You were so cute with that

      Ponytail flipping around,

      A cute little smile,

      Seldom a frown.

      I’m lucky to have you for a cousin.

      You see,

      You’re much more like a sister

      Would be to me.

      Happy birthday, Terri.

      This is from the heart.

      Many more, dear cousin.

      I hope we never drift apart.

      I’m proud of you and all you do,

      Being a good mother and

      A grandmother too.

      January 24 is a special day

      ‘Cause you were born.

      What more can I say?

      Friends

      Some friends are old. Some friends are new.

      Some friends are more special and will

      See you through.

      Some friends are funny, and some are not.

      Some friends need your help,

      As much as you’ve got.

      If you are short on friends as a whole,

      Maybe you should be a better friend.

      This much I know.

      You have to be a friend to have a friend.

      It is really so.

      Hold your friends close to your heart.

      They are worth more than gold.

      Our church is the best place to meet new friends.

      They are truthful and loyal.

      They are there for you.

      On them you can depend.

      Remember each and every day

      To be a good friend in every way.

      The blessings you get will be your pay.

      Lost a Friend

      You lost a special friend today.

      It’s hard for me to know

      What to say.

      You’ll miss her laugh, her silly ways.

      I know you will think of her

      Every day.

      But try to remember

      The happy times,

      How special she was To you.

      She was so very funny

      And had a good heart,

      One of a kind

      Through and through.

      She would brighten the room

      When she entered it.

      She could light up the world

      With that gigantic grin.

      Be glad God gave you a friend

      Like her.

      We don’t know why things

      Like this occur.

      But as she would say if she were here,

      Things happen for a reason,

      Even if we shed a tear.

      Few people have a friend like

      You two have had.

      God gave you this, so don’t be sad.

      The memories you have will never leave.

      Cherish them close.

      It’s okay to grieve.

      Remember the good times,

      And laugh at the bad.

      Be glad for God’s gift

      Of this friend you had.

      Holidays

      The holidays are here again,

      A time for love and cheer,

      A time for all of us to share,

      To show we really care.

      Decorations all around and

      Smiles
