Happy Birthday our sweet angel in heaven

January 13th was the 25th Birthday of our first born, whom we will never forget, our Matthew, our sweet angel in heaven. Here are a few verses I wrote to celebrate his life with his Creator, I know we will be reunited one day, until then dear son we know you look down on us and smile.

You're an angel in heaven

It seems you've always been:

Your life on earth ended

Quite before it did begin.

We have never stopped loving you

And think of you each day

How proud we would have been of you

Of what you'd have become today?

A teacher, a doctor,

a painter, who knows?

We sometimes wonder what it is

That you would have chose.

For three weeks we had you,

Three weeks we cherished you,

Held you, loved you

and prayed you'd make it through...

But God had other plans

Ones we knew nought about,

Your name was in His Book of Life,

Of that we had no doubt.

And now sweet child we think of you

As twenty-five years have passed awhile

As we send you Birthday Hugs in heaven

You look down on us and smile.
