The Birthday Party Now

With Merry Katherine's birthday coming up in 2 1/2 weeks, her birthday is on my mind... So last night I had a wonderful dream that ended in a nightmare. And yet, her happiness was replete, unencumbered by the complications occurring around me...

I dreamed of your birthday party last night;

Happy, you were, surrounded by your friends ~

Oh, for me, it was a joyous sight,

Like a glimpse at a happiness that never ends…

My family soon came to join the party,

A festive reunion was felt in the air.

The joy was great, the laughter hardy;

Then entered a tiny glimpse at despair…

When a grumpy soul issued a complaint,

Communicating I was doing it all wrong,

The festive air attempting to taint,

But I knew the happiness coming of your birthday song…

and knew you were above the fray of the fretting doubts of the petulant throng.

Is that how it is today:

Your happiness is complete;

The tragic air that surrounds me,

With your joy, simply cannot compete?

The taunts that come do not touch you

For you're surrounded with your Heavenly view.

And I? I must simply keep my eyes Above,

Seeing, you truly are ever surrounded with love.

The torments here may come and go

But I know they'll never impair your Heavenly glow!

Rest easy now my child in all your joy;

Your family of love will soon come to enjoy

Our Heavenly Father's never-ending love

As we join the ranks in your party Above.

Until then, please know, our hearts are ever with you;

Though steeped in sadness, we're ever refreshed by God's Heavenly Dew

That keeps reminding us of the Joy that lies ahead when together we'll sing,

"Happy Birthday to you!"
