Joey Is Two

by Jessica Wheeler

A little boy, with busy days

He runs and leaps he sings and plays

There's much to see and much to do

On Joey's birthday, he'll be two

Joey's so big; soon a big brother

His Mommy's due to have another

There's much to see and much to do

For baby comes when Joey's two

My Godson, you're a shining star

Stay smart and sweet, just like you are

There's much to see and much to do

With every birthday, I'll love you

Example:

Some days I sing, some days I cry.
My soul's the one determines why.
Sometimes it laughs, sometime it mourns.
On my bouquet are many thorns.

Wake up each day, face a dqrk cloud.
My happiness wrapped in a shroud.
The day begins, to me it scorns.
On my bouquet are many thorns.

Lay down my head, dark nights begun.
With the sad setting of the sun.
From all my sorrows mycheart mourns.
On my bouquet are many thorns.

Happy birthday to my nephew and Godson, Joey!
