Happy Birthday in Heaven My Child

Hope you won't mind, but today is our son Bobby's birthday - he would have been 37 and he's spending his first year in heaven.. I thought I would share this poem with you that I received... Happy Birthday Bobby and to all the children in heaven - Cherie Houtson..

Happy Birthday in Heaven My Child
~Author:Unknown~

Please help those all around me, to see and understand
That even though my child’s in heaven
The memories of our time together, are always here to stay
You see today is special, after all it’s my child’s birthday

I hope my friends will understand and see how much I care
And better yet can lend an ear, and smile as I share.
I pray they never lose a child or ever know this pain.
I just want them to know, my child’s memories remain

Oh yes today is special, another birthday it should be…
And yes I wish my child was here, but it wasn’t meant to be
I hope the angels sing aloud; I hope my child can see
As we celebrate their life and all their memories…

Love for our child begins so early and never goes away
And I’m grateful for their time on earth, but sad they couldn’t stay
Of course it wasn’t long enough, but how wonderful it was
Their laugh, their smile, but most of all, the gifts they left behind

So I hope that those around, can see beyond my smile
And my Words that, "I'm okay."
And know that yes today is special,
And join along with me
As we celebrate – today – my child’s birthday

Happy Birthday in Heaven My Child…

  5. I feel your pain and every mother who loves there children. It shouldn't be that way a child should not leave before the parents. But only the Lord knows why he sets our lives this way. I lost my oldest child at 40 in a three vehicle collision, he was the only one who died. I love all my children but he was special, he always showed his love for me and called me everyday to tell me he loved me. He always came around to see us and helped us with cleaning or fixing things. The one thing I always remember because he always told me, is I LOVE YOU MAMA, I DON'T KNOW WHAT I WOULD DO WITHOUT YOU, THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING YOU DO FOR ME. Those are the words I will never forget. I feel your pain mothers you are not alone!
