: A Musical Christmas Birthday by Debi Pick Marquette

 

Paul was an only child, and all his relatives are gone

He never married, but it doesn’t mean he has no one

‘Cause all his friends and students are so close to this man’s heart

He has lived such a full life, so I wonder where to start

 

His music and his ministry, combined had struck a chord

Because he loves to sing his praises to his Mighty Lord

 

He’s a retired teacher and he taught fifty four years

His God, music and teaching: in a nutshell, his careers

Paul had a certain touch when he was planting learning seeds

They called him the Magician; helping kids with special needs

 

He has composed so many songs; from musical research

And he still sings them now, but it is mostly in his church

 

It has been seven months since he has come to FanStory

And as he wins in contests; he has much for us to see 

A story that he brought with him is his, “Charlie the cat”

He was a children’s author, and how great he was at that

 

It must be quite an honor to be born on Christmas Day 

We’ll celebrate you both but do it in a different way

 

Prom Praise events that he performed at Royal Albert Hall

He sang there twenty times or more, and still it honors Paul,

So he lives in North London, and he knows there he belongs

His plans for the near future: worship, poetry and songs

 

We wish you Happy Birthday Paul, and Merry Christmas too

We’re happy that you’re here with us, Please know that we love you

Author Notes
At 4:30 AM, Central time, I was about to post this birthday poem for Paul Manton, when I went to pm him first to tell him that I was going to release. Instead there was a message for me saying EMERGENCY, he was going back to the hospital, that there had been side effects from his procedure. Please pray for Paul, as this is his second hospitalization for this situation.

My Merry~go~Rhyme Rules:
1. must rhyme
2. must be fun
3. normal 4 line stanzas
4. a fun line or 2 between each stanza (for the up and down carousel effect)
5. and mostly carefree and joyful (for the round and round effect)
6. may have sadness in poem, but must have joyful ending, to keep the theme going
