Upon This Day



Upon This Day
By Moses Seiber

Upon this day was given,
A life to remember,
A life that would be,
The greatest to ever enter,
A life that would go,
Through all the tricks and the thins,
Throughout the forest of the passage,
Overtaking all even mountains,
Going on across the rivers,
Along with oceans and seas,
Fighting off all the swimming monsters,
Across all there's to be,
Making no stop in the forest,
As on through he so steps,
Heading on for a mission,
Not to turn off right nor to left,
Soaring up above so high,
As the sun starts to rise,
To a day shown to many,
As the greatest fore their eyes,
And known as a gift,
By hold of the One given this morn,
Who is all and more to me,
Because of this day that he was born.

Happy Birthday Dad

About this poem

Written on Thursday December 6, 2023 for my dad because of who he is. What he's done. And what he's been to me. What he went through for me and my sisters and brother. How far he took us along with the sacrifices he made for us. Which is why I wrote this. Because he is our life's super father.
