It’s two days after the fact
But this deserves a mention,
Consequently, for the time being,
I give it my fullest attention.
It was May, 1969
That my brother took a wife,
This may surprise some people
But it need not cause any strife.
The wife that he now has
Is really his second wife
But this wife, and I mean Avice,
Was not always his pride of life.
His first wife was Selita-
She was a White from the Bridge Road,
She passed away in 1984
And that for Mac was quite a load.
This brings me to the fact
That I really want to highlight:
So, Congratulations to a precious lady!
Most call her Mum White.
On the 4th of September
She celebrated her birthday,
Consequently, she is a centenarian-
Congrats one hundred ways!
Belated birthday greetings
To this precious mother-in-law
Who is still looking good, I must add,
Though old age brings a flaw.
I did not ask for permission
To put this out on Facebook
So, Yvette and Mac, please forgive me,
Don’t tell me I’m out of luck.
Belated Birthday, Mum White!
You have attained the mark,
Praise God you’ve reached 100!
Take guard for a new start!
Putting the 100 behind you
From one you can start again,
Then two and three and four and five
A super-centenarian in Jesus’ name.
