birthday.
A SPECIAL BIRTHDAY
Please God,make them remember that Today
is a special ,birthday.
Make them understand that the memories
don't go away.
Bless them,with ears to hear and hearts
that care.
Enable them to listen while I share.
Shelter them that they may never know my pain.
Help them to help me know that my child's life
was not in vein.
Help them to remember,Lord that I wish that
my child was still here so we could celebrate.
To understand that I still feel the nearness
of my child.
To see beyond my smile and the words."I'm okay."
Please God,just let one remember today
is a Special Birthday!
Our Teen Angel In Heaven
This is a special day
I hold dear to my heart.
Your memories I have inside,
for now we are apart.
You were always full of hope
and gave all your love.
I know your in God's hands,
the Father up above.
Inside me is where you live,
in a special place.
When I need some cheering up,
I see your smiling face
Though I may not here you laugh
or hold your hand today.
I cherish every moment that
you gave me everyday.
When times get rough
and I feel I can't go on.
I know that you would tell me
just be strong.
Your life may have ended
before your time.
But I know God has helped me
by letting your memory shine.
The comfort I have today is
knowing that you are free.
It's just really hard to let go of
what use to be.
You enriched my life
more than I can ever say.
That is why I remember it's
your Birthday today.
As I smile and sing
Happy Birthday to you!
In my heart I remember
all the memories too.
And when the time comes for
us to see each other again.
I know you'll be there waiting
to show me the way in.
