Happy Birthday Merry Katherine! To my Forever Teen Angel...

Happy Birthday Merry Katherine!

To my Forever Teen Angel...

Happy 24th Birthday, baby girl,

Will you celebrate with Jesus atop our world?

I wish we could see you to catch a glimpse

Of your placid peace, like that I once dreamt;

Perhaps it could rest my grief for awhile

To catch a glimpse of your angelic smile...

I wish we could somehow be in your presence,

We'd surely shower you with love and presents;

But amidst your absence that makes our hearts ache,

Your brother gifts you... a precious namesake!

From Heaven, God sends His gift of life,

Reminders of His true heart amidst death's strife.

We met her through ultrasound yesterday

(near your birthday);

Her presence should grace Earth near your Heav'n day!

(Did you have any part, sending her our way?!)

Sweet glimpses of God's love, joy, and life from Above

Where our Savior holds you close to His heart of love.

Happy Birthday, sweet baby girl,

Forever teen angel since you left our world...

You hold our hearts daily since cold death unfurled;

May God show'r you with our love, as in His lap you curl...
