For Daniel

I have been thinking a lot about Daniel this year, he is turning eight years old in January. I am excited to see how he has grown and gained a testimony of Jesus Christ. I wrote this poem for him.

I’m turning 8 this year

Mom and Dad have great cheer

I’ve learned to walk

I’ve learned to run

I’ve learned to fall

I’ve learned life is fun

I’m going to be 8 this year

The next step is so clear

You taught me to read

You taught me to write

You taught me to believe

You taught me what’s right.

I’m excited to be 8 this year

Please don’t shed a tear

I know God lives

I know  God cares

I know God loves me

I know I’m prepared

So when I turn 8 this year

I’ll take the step there is no fear

I’ll walk in God’s path

I’ll follow God’s light

I’ll go and be baptized

I’ll be confirmed in white. .
