The yearly letter to heaven

In heaven's realm, where stars do gleam,
A message I send, a tender dream,
To my dear child, taken too soon,
A daughter beloved, bathed in moon.

Thirteen years have passed, yet it feels like yesterday,
When I held you, just ten hours, in my arms, in dismay.
The pain of losing you, a fresh wound,
A mother's love, forever bloomed.

I imagine you, in heaven's embrace,
Free from pain, free from any trace,
Of the suffering that took you away,
Leaving me here, in sorrow to stay.

But I know, my dear, you're in a better place,
Surrounded by love, in a boundless space,
Where angels sing and flowers bloom,
And you're safe from all harm and doom.

So, happy birthday, my sweet baby girl,
In heaven's arms, you're a precious pearl.
I'll cherish the memories, of our time so brief,
And hold you, always, in my heart, with belief.

Though the pain never truly fades,
I find solace in the love I've made,
With your memory, forever intertwined,
In my heart, you'll forever shine.

So, happy birthday, my dear,
In heaven, your spirit is clear.
I'll see you again, in God's embrace,
And hold you, forever, in this sacred space.
