Analysis of Peace in the midst of anger!



I may not be the nicest there is, I may not marry your mother again!
 Even though you have brothers and sisters not hers, I love you for giving me a gift with a hug!
 It's not always easy to say I tried!
I spent time with you when tired so thank you for making me smile!
 In the midst of the lies and evil there is, you are my pearl the reason I lived!
The clowns and the spiders would pull us apart!
 I'm not much for the cold, not rich yet you are!
So whenever life starts to throw you it's gloom, remember these words happy birthday your father loves you!
 I spend my time mostly alone and working!
Doing my best to stay away from things that make me angry especially when hurting!
 I may not be perfect yet, for you I tried!
Proud of you always despite of the odds!
 Remember my words when things get rough!
You will achieve what you put your mind to!
 Do not ever give up!
