AUGUST 18TH



Well, todays a very special day
For an Angel up above
And I just want to say hello
And send you all my love;
It seems like forever, Mum
Since I last spoke with you
And since it's your birthday
Here's hugs and kisses too.

It feels like many moons ago
That I was just a kid
And when you had a birthday
I didn't even know you did;
I was so very selfish
To think just of myself
And now I understand &
Imagine how you felt.

I grew up & went away
And tried to make it up
By giving you a birthday cake
And tea in a special cup;
You opened up your presents
And blushed a little bit
You felt guilty just to rest
Lay down or even sit.

Somehow you felt you had
To wait on us hand & foot
We took you for granted
Never saw you read a book;
Work and life devoured you
No organ time to play
How I wish I could spoil you
On this your special day.

But now the tears are falling
Because you're dead and gone
And someday I will join you
And we will sing a song;
Mum, I've always loved you
You made me what I'm today
This is straight from my heart
Happy Heavenly birthday!
