Happy 90th Birthday Shirley Proctor!

On Monday, March 17th Shirley’s daughters hosted a surprise party for their mother here at the church. Friends and family all gathered to celebrate Shirley!

A Poem by Shirley Proctor: Thank You for My Party

I decided to write a Thank you Poem

Instead of sending a card

Because I’m finding at this age

Writing is getting quite hard!

So I wrote this poem to thank you all

For helping me celebrate Boy we sure had a ball!

What a surprise when I opened the door

It’s a wonder I didn’t fall down on the floor

But I soon recovered and came on in

And I said OK let the party begin

 

I was dressed in green for St. Patty’s Day

So you could tell I was ready to play

 

Everyone loved the Irish jig

And the cate meow song too

Just a usual I never know

What it is that I might do!

 

The games were fun and the food was great

What a wonderful way to celebrate

 

I was glad to see so many friends

And my daughters and granddaughter too

What a blessing you all are to me

Without you what would I do?

 

The love you showed in your cards and gifts

Was so overwhelming to me

I privately cried when I read them at home

When no one else could see

And I also Thank You God for this party

 It showed the love that people can share

And also, it reminds us

We are to spread Gods Love Everywhere.
