To my Godmother on her 60th Birthday

What are Godparents Made Of?

Truth and grace, spirit embraced
A hand to guide, a smile of pride
A tender heart, there from the start
Loyal and true, esteemed as few. . .

That’s what Godparents are made of

Words of praise, truehearted ways
Faith to bind, a promise through time
Prayers at night, joyful at light
regarded role, valued as gold. . .

That’s what Godparents are made of

Guardian of light, fairness and right
Duty to lead, there in need
Hope and goodwill, values instilled
Affection and love, blessed from above. . .

That’s what Godparents are made of
