Happy Birthday

Golden curls, ocean eyes
Gentle spirit, old and wise
A gift to me from beyond
To fill my heart 
With a song of sweet love.

The world is sleeping now.
All is stillness, soft and warm.
My heart longs to see your face
Hear your laughter
Delight in your smile.

Today is your birthday. 
And I celebrate my every moment
Knowing and loving you
Though you live now beyond the veil
You live forever in my heart and soul.

I love you and I miss you.
Mom

  1. Sitting here with tears streaming down my face. So glad I "stumbled" upon this blog. My little sister's birthday is also July 3rd. She passed 30 years ago at age 19. Your poem could have been written for her as well, Thank you.
