Alabama born and bred
Who married his high school sweetheart,
It’s really no great mystery
Why you never want to be apart.
What a mischievous youngster
Who obviously had fun,
And I thought I had problems
With my one and only son.
Musically gifted,
Guitar, keyboard, and drums,
But you would make light of it
And say you’re all thumbs.
Camping and walking,
Amps and guitars,
At least you curb your desire
For those nasty old cigars.
Santana and Croce,
Tomlin and Stevie Ray,
Likes only Clint Eastwood westerns,
But not his “Go ahead, make my day?”
You like Jim Carrey movies,
Please say it ain’t so,
But let us not forget about
Larry, Curly, and Moe.
Hypnotist and chaplain,
Preacher for 30 years,
A licensed funeral director,
And admiration from your peers.
A Psych degree from Lipscomb,
A Master's from U.N.A.,
Graduate work at Harding,
So where is all that pay?
Your sermons are innovative,
Make you contemplate and think,
But if preached in certain areas,
They would cause a great big stink.
What can you say about
The psycho dog from hell?
Chipper is her name,
Who I think is just swell.
Joshua and Jessica,
And Heather, Josh did pick,
Soon we’ll be calling you Gramps,
Now that is just so “sick!”
When you and Janice leave,
What a sad day it will be,
But you won’t catch me begging,
Or bending down on one knee.
So here’s happy birthday wishes
To a truly heartfelt man,
But think Janice has me beat
As to who’s your biggest fan.

I am truly humbled and impressed! Had I had a clue anyone would some day write a poem about me, I would have lived a cleaner life!
Thank you, Debbie. This is truly one of the best gifts I've ever received ... that didn't have six strings attached to it!
That was cool !
thanks for sharing it with us!
have a great day! :)
Hi Debbie.
Great poem about the Rev. I wouldn't change it a bit but except the following:
"Ah Greg, he can get lost in a crowd,
He needs a GPS device
To wear as a shroud.
The sign might say
this way, come here
But Greg he'll point
The opposite way with no fear."
Great poem again Debbie I just had to add that last part since I’ve literally been lost with Greg from coast to coast. God bless and have a good day.
Great poem, Debbie. Now we can watch Greg's head swell even bigger than it already is! He is blessed to have a sister like you.
I did my own poem on Greg's blog to share some of my thoughts.
Peace.
What a great gift. You are truly gifted. and we all like the Bama boy!
