Somewhere across the winter world tonight
You will be hearing chimes that fill the air;
Christmas extends its all-enfolding light
Across the distance...something we can share.

You will be singing, just the same as I,
These familiar songs we know so well,
And you will see these same stars in your sky
And wish upon that brightest one that fell.

I shall remember you and trim my tree,
One shining star upon the topmost bough;
I will hang wreaths of faith that all may see --
Tonight I glimpse beyond the hear and now.

And all the time that we must be apart

I keep a candle in my HEART.

Birthdays In Heaven

.
Birthdays in heaven are a wonderful site
Where generations of family once again unite.
Nothing on earth can ever compare
to the sounds of the angels singing "Happy Birthday My Dear!"

We gather together with our family and friends
And circle the world with love once again.

.
We know that you miss us and we want you to know
that birthdays up here are not much different than below.

For we have cake with candles and one wish we always make
That your heart will know love and will never again ache.
So tonight go outside and count the stars in the sky
for as I blow out my candles they will flicker up high.

And as this is happening you'll know deep in your heart
That Heaven and Earth aren't really that far apart!

.

Happy Birthday...Sending you lots of Hugs

and kisses! xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

GOD knows the heartache
that lies behind our smiles
and GOD knows how many times
we have broken down and cried
God is always by our side.
We want to tell you something
so there won't be any doubt
You're so wonderful to think of
but so hard to be without.
