TALENTED PERFECT ONE

It was at 10:00pm, September 2nd

A day were the wind took up the task of keeping the residence cool

Where the trees stood tall and confident

With leaves showing off the beauty of the changing season

And when the sun had kissed the shores goodbye 

The stage was set and you arrived.

With careful thought and the Lord’s design 

Your parents named you something quite Divine

Tabia,

Talented Perfect One

Set from birth to have Boldness, Beauty and Brilliance as your calling card

You were cultivated in Love

Nurtured in a lifestyle so surrounded by God

That He made himself at home in your habits

Then at 19 you let him into your heart

Armed with goodness and character that can only be from the most high himself

You took on the world

A passionate music loving English major

Who decided that the healing ministry was where she would operate

You moved

And it was in your movement that life happened for you

It was in your movement that he was able to see you

A young man, about to reach the final page of another chapter of his life

Sees a woman

One dressed in blue

A blue so fit for her that it forever alters his perception of the colour.

She moved through Tampa with confidence and boldness so apparent that it oozed through the very steps she took.

And like a moth at the sight of light 

His attention was captured

So much so that when he got the chance to speak with her, he did so all the way to “I do”

This young man had just obtained favour from God.

He had obtained the blessing to be surrounded by light

And in the 27th age, this light reproduced

What a joy it is when goodness multiplies

For this is the case

With hands that have laboured to save lives you nurtured your own little one

You were Careful while adding fuel to her desires

Conscious when speaking life over her

Present in times when the future seemed daunting or the past came haunting 

You were there

Shining a path of perseverance and confidence 

Leading her to your source

And at 3 she remembers you standing there as she gave her life to the one who led you

You are Tabia

A Daughter, A Sister, A Mother, an Aunty, a Friend and many more

You are the wind between the sail of your household

The light that leads many out of darkness

Brilliance operating in a body

Beauty shining through the mind

Boldness personified

You are a vessel for the work of your Father

So, Talented Perfect One

You have reached 50

An age that signifies halfway for most

But is really the starting line for you

And as your mother and father spoke life into you as a youth

We speak life into you now

You are the offspring of light so darkness can not reach you

You are the beloved of God so favour surrounds you

You are precious to God and he loves you

You abide in God so his presence will always comfort you

You Aunty are 1 in a million 

And we are more blessed by you simply existing 

Happy Birthday
