Another Heavenly Birthday

Another birthday separated by Heaven and earth So close but yet so far apart A day that celebrates the day of our birth Where we became one in heart A love that endures beyond your death Your essence still lingers here A scent that catches my breath Reminding me that you are near I will walk the worn path to your grave Each step bringing me closer to you Emotions roiling like a tempest wave But knowing that you will see me through I’ll sit quietly and look at your picture Thinking of you with a father’s love Holding onto the faith of God’s eternal scripture That you are safe in His hands above As always I will do my very best To find my happy place Remembering that I was graciously blessed To be comforted by a son’s embrace Happy Heavenly Birthday, my precious son. I miss you beyond any understanding and my heart remains broken without you, but I have found some peace with the pride I feel knowing your life had meaning. He laughed…He smiled…He loved…He lived May the Angels hold you close, son And sing Happy Birthday to you…
