You should be blowing out candles |
|
You should be blowing out candles on your birthday cake today - Closing your eyes, and making a wish for something special to come Your way. I remember your first birthday Ken, and in the town that we were living, We invited all the neighborhood kids - You couldn't understand why all the presents to you they were giving! I still can see you sitting in your little high-chair Eating the birthday cake I made - Frosting covered your face and hair, And in my memory, that picture will never fade. You were never too much trouble, when you were a child - You had a friendly, quiet manner, and always a ready smile. In school, your teachers liked you, you never caused a problem; But the homework that they gave you, sometimes you had trouble solving. You struggled through to grade eleven, then attended trade school for a course, That hopefully would give you work, in the field of your choice. Then two years after graduation, the most tragic day I'll ever know - I lost you very suddenly, I watched your young life go. Though doctors and nurses tried to save you, there was nothing they could do - And on that day, that tragic day, a part of me died too. There is no bond in all the world like that of a Mother and Child, But I thank God that he lent you to me to love for a little while. There never is a day goes by that I don't think of you - My baby, my boy, my child, my young man, I'll never forget you my whole life through. But God is watching over you now, and you're happy and carefree, And I know someday I'll see you again - I'll hold onto you and you'll hold onto me. Today you'd be blowing out 33 candles, and making a wish as before; And I know that there in Heaven your wish will come true for sure. Happy 33rd birthday Kenny, we all love and miss you so very much. |
