Crowning Glory:

A Tribute to Grace

QUEEN ANGELA CELEBRATING 1/2 CENTURY …………………………………………………………..

In the quiet dawn of life's embrace,

A gentle whisper fills the space,

A tapestry of years unwound,

A journey rich, where grace is found.

Fifty times the sun has spun,

A dance of light, the journey begun.

In every shadow, every light,

Grace has been my guiding light.

Through storms that tested every seam,

Grace endured in every dream.

In laughter, tears, and silent prayers,

A crown of wisdom gently wears.

Each wrinkle tells a story bold,

Of battles won and tales retold,

Of moments when the heart held fast,

And grace, the anchor, deep and vast.

In every sunrise, golden hue,

Grace whispers softly, "You're renewed."

For every step, both slight and grand,

Grace gently holds my outstretched hand.

So here I stand, a grateful soul,

At fifty years, a life made whole.

In grace, I've found my crowning glory,

A testament to life's rich story.

In every year, in every place,

I've walked this path, adorned in grace.

With gratitude, my heart does sing,

For the crowning glory that grace brings.
