My Sister’s Birthday

Birthdays are supposed to be fun,

but since you’ve passed away,

Birthdays are nothing but sadness.

You’re not here anymore; 

smiling, laughing, talking and celebrating with us.

The only thing I have now are memories of you.

During the holidays, and especially on your birthdays,

they aren’t enough.

But I am grateful for all the years we were together.

You are, and always will be my sister.

For that, I want you to know how special you are to me.

I will never forget you, especially on your birthday.

Happy Birthday in Heaven Dear Sister
