~+~ Happy Birthday Elvis ~+~ Jan.8,2009
Elvis, if you're looking down…
Some say this could be true
Then I simply dedicate this poem
As a birthday gift to you.
Here on Earth, as always,
We still celebrate your birth.
We honor you for who you were
And for all your memory's worth.
You touched us with your music.
You embraced us with your fame.
But your giving heart and Godly acts
Added much more to your name.
Your faith was always present
We could sense it in your song.
You brought Gospel Music to the front
Where it always did belong.
Fame placed you on a king's throne
But you never liked these things
Instead, you gave up The Crown
To the greater King of Kings.
Humble beginnings, I am sure,
Were embedded in your heart.
And like the southern gentleman
You were born to play this part.
So, Happy Birthday Elvis
Although your residence has changed.
I'm sure Jesus will bestow my wish.
It's been prayerfully arranged.
Love,
Doris Jacobs-Covington
