BEREAVED BIRTHDAYS
Birthdays are a time for celebration
Not a time for tears
But what happens when the birthdays
No longer mark the years.
A birthday marks the moment
A spirit enters earthly life
To share its special love and joy
And learn from earthly strife.
Before a spirit comes to us
It knows when and how it must depart
It chose its path carefully
We are honored from the start.
The sadness we now feel on such a joyous day
Is longing for our loved one's touch
It's natural to feel this way.
For even though the birthdays
No longer mark a spirit's stay
Love continues on forever
To touch us everyday.
I hug my precious memories
Close to my heart
And honor my beloved spirit child
Who chose me from the start
