A Birthday In Heaven

I heard you crying yesterday

And felt your heart-sent love

So I’m sending you this message

Now, from Heaven up above.


You’re wondering if I’ll celebrate

My birthday (way up here)

I know you’re missing me today

I feel your essence near.


God planned a special day for me

He told me with a wink

He’d ordered me a special cake

(It’s Angel food, I think)


I’m getting lots of hugs from God

He’s really good at that

And every time that I walk by

He gives my head a pat


Balloons will fill the streets for me

They float up through the clouds

And we have lots of clowns up here

That make us laugh out loud


There is a birthday carousel

Jeweled horses ride the wind

With music playing oh so sweet…

The magic never ends


I’ve made so many friends, you see

We laugh and play and sing

We ride our bikes and play jump rope

And sleep in Angel’s wings


We’ll have our cake and ice cream

And open gifts, surprise!

But we don’t blow out our candles here

Instead, they light the skies
