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 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 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 | ||
