There was a mama named Margarete Frei…
Who raised five boys way back in the day,
The delivery nurse knew
what her third son would do,
And his mama began to pray.
He was just a boy from Germany…
As naughty as a Lausbub could be,
Who gave California a whirl,
Met a super cute girl,
And moved to start his own family.
He became a husband called “HBOM”…
Who’s as stubborn as weeds on a lawn,
He made Susie his wife,
She's the love of his life,
And their courtship still continues on…
There was this small church in a tiny town…
Who needed a pastor to stick around,
He stepped up to the plate,
Served for 35 years straight,
And a more faithful shepherd still hasn't been found.
He grew up with four good-looking brothers…
But he was much more handsome than the others,
Even after he moved away,
Close friends they did stay,
And always made time for one another.
To a whole bunch of kids, he’s a dad…
The patient kind that doesn’t get mad,
He opens his home,
Like you are his own,
And is the father some kids never had…
Sometimes he’s a crazy coach..
Who is known for his serious approach,
If you listen to him,
You might actually win,
But if not, you'll score a reproach.
He loves being a super silly Opa…
Who likes to live above the law,
He has a grand scheme
To eat ALL THE WHIPPED CREAM,
And his grandkids are always in awe.
Today is super special day…
But we couldn't come over to play,
So we stayed in our homes,
And sent videos from our phones
To wish our Pastor/Opa/Coach/Brother/Uncle/Dad a HAPPY 60th BIRTHDAY!
