Happy Birthday, Alberto
A bundle of cheer was born that day
A precious little lad
His tiny perfect body still
Had made my heart so glad
And as he grew, a sparkling smile
Would lite the darkest night
For all the world seemed perfect joy
When e’er he was in sight
A diplomat he grew to be
By age of six or seven
A wisdom learned or had it been
A gift to him from heaven
I cannot tell you how or when
It seemed just yesterday
A baby then a man became
A moment’s time I’d say
I see him now this man he is
And marvel at God’s Grace
The strength and honor now I see
Is written on his face
A wondrous gift my son has been
To warm this mother’s heart
His faith, his hope, his joy I’ve seen
Unto this world impart
I know twas God who took His hand
And lead him to this place
And God it is who’ll lead him on
Each step along this race
