Happy birthday, Mummy!
Although you’re not with us –
We’ll be celebrating ‘you’ today
But without the usual fuss.
We’ll celebrate your gentleness,
We’ll celebrate your love,
A love that we can feel each day
As you look down from above.
We’ll celebrate your laughter
That we miss so much today.
We’ll celebrate that ready smile
You had for everyone you knew– come what may.
You won’t blow out the candles
There’ll be no birthday kiss –
But know that – today more than any other day
You are greatly missed.
You didn’t care for presents,
Everyone who knows you, knows
You’d much rather spend the day
With friends and family close.
Are you celebrating with angels?
Have they made you a cake?
Are you getting many presents?
The kind that angels make?
Is it decorated up in Heaven?
The children want to know.
They talk about you all the time.
I know they miss you so.
I hope you have a super day
Even though we’re far apart;
And we’ll celebrate your birthday
Deep within our hearts.
