To My Godfather

My godfather
Is a great doctor.
In his profession
He is well known by all.
My father’s best friend
So his goddaughter became I.

A great singer as well
A bass baritone
Whose wonderful voice
Fills a concert hall
As clear as a bell.

A man of great prestige
A loving and warm
Family man
Whose loving care
Has been clear to me
Throughout the years.

I honor him
On his birthday.
Born in Latvia
And continued his career
In the USA.
I love and respect him
May God bless him
Through the coming years.

May you have many more
Birthdays to share with us.
Sending my love your way
Your goddaughter
Always with you
In mind and heart
May we never part.
