Bereaved Birthdays
Birthdays are a time to celebrate
Not a time for tears
But what happens when the birthdays
No longer mark the years?
A birthday marks the moment
A child enters earthly life
To share its special love and joy
And learn from earthly strife
Before a child comes to us,
God knows when and how it must depart
He choses its path carefully,
We are honored from the start
The sadness we now feel,
On such a joyus day,
Is longing for our loved one's touch
It's natural to feel this way
For even though the birthdays
No longer mark our child's stay
Love continues on forever
To touch us everyday.
So, I hug my precious memories
Oh so close to my heart!
And honor my beloved angel child
Who was chosen for me from the start
