Happy Birthday In Heaven - by Winnie Lovett

"Happy Birthday Jonathan"
It's sure to be the best one yet,
Though you left us here behind.
Did you think that we'd forget?

Your cake this year, will surely be,
A beauty to behold.
With the icing made of Silver,
And the candles made of Gold.

Yes, your birthday in Heaven,
Will be such a grand affair.
And I know you'll look so lovely,
With a halo in your hair.

The Angels will come from everywhere,
To sing your birthday song.
And I know they'll be so happy,
That you've joined, God's Happy Throng.

No I can't send a card this year,
Or give a gift so fine.
So I'll just send a special prayer,
To that wonderful Nephew of yours.

Wings & Halos (Author Unknown)

I was so excited when I woke up today
I heard my Mommy was coming to play
I washed my wings and my halo too
Cuz that's what Mommy likes me to do

I went to the place where I knew she'd be
It's where she comes to visit me
She comes for comfort in her despair
Oh Mommy, can't you feel me touching your hair?

I'm by your side all through the night
I never let you out of my sight
I was your baby for not even a day
But soon we can be together and play

You know we'll never be apart
You'll never let me leave your heart
Mommy I'm not really in the ground,
lift up your head and look around

The clouds, the birds, the raindrops too
these gifts of life were given to you
Don't cry for me Mommy, I know you're here
Please let me wipe away that tear.

I was sent to you from up above
And you showed me the ultimate love
Instead of giving me all of your years
You freely gave me all of your tears

Remember your relatives, the ones who have died?
They brought me here, I'm by their side
They watch over me and help me to see
just how much you really love me

So don't be unhappy when you come visit me
I'm the angel above you, up in the tree
And when you leave, you'll never be through
You'll always be my Mommy
And I'll always love you

EPITAPH TO JONATHAN


A million times I've missed you,
A million times I've cried,
If all my love could've saved you,
Then you would never have died.

Things we feel most deeply,
Are often hardest of all to say,
My dearest nephew I will always
Love you in a very special way.

I often sit and think of you
And of how you died,
To think we couldn't even say goodbye
Before you closed your eyes.

No one can know my loneliness
No one can see me weeping,
All the tears in my aching heart
When others are still sleeping.

If I had one lifetime wish
A dream that would come true,
I'd pray to God with all my heart
For yesterday and you.
