Happy Birthday Steve Harvey

"I decided to write a poem to celebrate one of my favorite comedians, tv stars, and show hosts: Steve Harvey. I am posting this early to ensure he has a chance to read it and start off his celebration for the entire month of January right. Mr. Harvey, much love for all you do!!!"

Dear Steve Harvey,

You’ve reached another milestone,

With a life so full of ups and downs,

Fighting to make a name for yourself,

When only your car was your throne,

And your passion was your crown.

Giving all that you had to make it,

Pushing not to quit,

Doing what was needed in times of struggle,

Stepping up to the plate in this war of toggle.

People see you now, but with only a half look,

They chose to only read the last chapter,

Not knowing this is just the beginning of your book.

You have inspired many and encouraged others,

Teaching women to seek more,

While also lifting our brothers.

Entrepreneur, comedian, and host,

Just a few hats you wear,

And remain real and true on every post.

From clothing line, to TV, to books, and all,

So many are wondering how you manage it all,

Unlike others, I understand,

It’s your duty,

The passion grows deeper than just one man.

Constant ideas flow through your veins,

Pouring out onto life’s sketchbook,

And soaring high like a plane.

Creations feeding your heart like blood,

You brace the talents God gave you,

Overflowing and all-consuming like a flood.

There is no stopper for this faucet,

Just more rivers flowing,

Hoping to never say “I lost it”.

Art is a kindness, and essence of life,

Shining upon oceans of reality,

Entrenched in a moonlit night.

Finding inspiration in everything,

But striving for family, making things right,

Holding on to the love,

Cherishing your wife.

Mr. Harvey, this is your poem,

I celebrate you with brilliance and care,

Let your pimping stay fresh,

With great style and flare.

Happy 6.0 to a king of comedy,

Forever walk tall and be you,

With all autonomy.

So go out and celebrate throughout the nation.

Wishing you the best,

XO, Poetic Representations.
