Hello Joey, this is mommy,
Can you hear me from above?
It's so lonely here without you
Since you're not here to love
The years pass by so quickly
It just seems like yesterday
That I kissed you, and tucked you in
The night you passed away
Today would be your birthday
So a candle I will light,
Not on a happy birthday cake
But on an alter bright,
I never will forget you,
Or the way you used to cry,
Now I'm the one who's dying
With each teardrop that I dry,
They say that time heals sorrow
But I know this is not true
For the only solace I can find,
Is that someday I'll be with you
Love, Mommy
~ I miss you so much my little one ~

Today is your birthday
and a candle I shall light
not on a happy birthday cake
but on an alter bright!

(I often think that maybe you would be
the 'only one' that would be close to me now)

I love you more than words can say ~ and miss you too ~ ~ ~

                         Love, Mom
