Birthday Remembrance

Happy 72nd Birthday Dear Philip
Born: 25th of April, 1940,   Slept with the Lord: 03.03.2011

Time passes so slowly since you’ve been gone,
It used to fly by when you were here,
The days and nights, they feel so long,
And yet we find it’s only been a year,
This year there won’t be a birthday cake,
No candles for you to blow out,
No more fond memories to make,
No more “Happy Birthday!” for us to shout,
Your funny stories that made us laugh,
Telling us about the latest sales and news,
Cutting cabbage fine and those strips in half,
We think back and are still amused,
Sadly, those times are no more,
But they live on in our hearts,
Our love for you will always endure,
Although we are apart,
As you celebrate your birthday,
Up in heaven with God,
We know you hear the things we say,
And probably find our tears to be odd,
For we shall be reunited again,
Our joy and laughter will once more be sparked,
That time will come, we don’t know when,
Till then this special day we will always mark.
Thinking of you always:

Your loving wife Jessie,

Children Nishanth / MaryThuy, Nischal / Emily, Nestor / Kavitha
&
grand children Aanya, Fiona & Celestina-Ly.
