Celebrating the birthday of a loved one who has passed away can be difficult. You want nothing more than for that person to be here with you. Poetry is a great source of comfort during times of grief.
I remember the first day we met.
You were all smiles, always happy.
This I must say is the saddest birthday yet
Because I still haven't learned to forget.

You walk beside me every day.
You're here in all I do and say.
At night I close my eyes and pray
To someone who took you away.
If I could have one wish in life,
That wish would have to be
That God would take away my pain
And send you back to me.

No presents bought, no candles blown; this year you walk on streets of gold,
And it's so much more than the stories you've been told.
The sun is shining on your face,
in Grief Poems
January's child of mine,
sweet miracle of God's design.
Oh, how I can recall the night.
The very first month
Of each passing year
Brings up your birthday
Even though you're not here.

Your birthday is here again,
but in heaven you will be.
We will celebrate your special day
visiting you and your memorial tree.
I lost you all those years ago,
But memories don't fade; they grow.
Your special day will always be
One that means so much to me.
