YOUR CHILD'S BIRTHDAY
No favorite cake to make.
No special present to buy.
No need for film in the camera.
None of his friends to come by.
I know the memories are filling volumes
of photo albums in your mind.
They date all the way back
to the day he was born.
Every detail an image of its own kind.
From the anxious trip to the hospital.
To a specified time, you know,
when you were handed a blanket bundle to unwrap,
to count each little finger and toe.
A precious gift to delight in.
Your bundle of happiness and joy.
A gift too priceless to let go of.
A memory too fresh to enjoy.
I have no words of comfort.
"I'l pray for you," seems the norm.
Sometimes the only words we can possibly offer
come in a liquid form.
I share your tears of sadness.
Because I know al to well your pain.
And still I cry because I love you.
And grieve with you all the same.
As I turn the pages of my own memory album,
the tears begin to flow and smart.
And I cry because I love you.
I cry with heart to heart.

I was so touched by your poem, I too am overwhelmed with emotion as my son's birthday approaches. I will be thinking of you and Troy, and sharing the profound sadness for lives lost far too soon. I hope you can get through this month and heal just a little bit more, one day at a time.
tight hugs and warm wishes, Rebecca

Thank you for sharing that. Nic's birthday is coming up (Nov. 8th), and it is so hard knowing that day will pass by, and he is not here for us to celebrate with him. I am so sad.....
Hugs, Julia
