My Jubilee
on the eve and threshold
of the most important day of my life,
I look back on my forty-nine years
whispering Jasmine-flavoured words
of thanks to my Maker.
For thus far He has brought me.
2
the welcome chirp of birds to rouse
the slow stream of rays through dawn
the heady scents of blooms to brighten
even in the almost silent zzzzinnnng of waters
a rush of lullaby to still my fevered spirit
I see your might
3
ever gently, pushing, urging, calming,
cradling, nurturing, molding
mere clay to refine
I am what you have made me
I am because You are
Alpha and Omega
4
I sing because I am happy
I sing because I am free
I sing because your face has shone upon me
not for forty nine years
but for fifty years
I sing my Jubilee!
