IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!

IT'S MY BIRTHDAY...
              ©Kerrie O'Hearn Marquart

Today the numbers are turned around
From seventeen to seventy one.
And Bill is no longer here to celebrate
Bill my beloved, wonderful mate.

We sure were full of dreams back then 
And life was good to us, times ten.
God was good to bring us together
What a blessing through good and bad weather.

And we took our vows very seriously when
" til death do us part" was repeated back then.
Love at the first and love at the last
Holding your hand, the suffering was past.

But I will celebrate in my heart with you
Though you are in heaven, you are still you
And I feel you here beside me.
I hear you say "Happy Birthday Kerr"
And then a romantic card you gave
With a big smile and a kiss...so dear.

Thanking God for all the birthdays I spent with you.
And for all your birthdays, too, 
I got to spend with you. 
The two of us were one, half of me is you
Together we were the whole.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY DARLING BILL

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BILL! 8/21/12 FROM MY LIPS TO HEAVEN!  Here is a pic of my honey and me from last year on his birthday.  In 6 mos, he was gone but I know I will see him again...

Happy Birthday Honey

Today you would have been seventy three.
I've missed seeing your handsome face,
It has been eight months since the Lord
 ~Took you back from me.

I love all the memories of you 
And daily our life, I review
   ~in my mind.
Thanking God for you
Such a blessing you were
In my sweetest memories pure.

And I will kiss your photo and say 
  Happy Birthday
And I know you will hear me
In your heavenly way.

2   Bill's Birthday 73rd

I am missing you
I always will
I miss your sweet smile and touch
My Darling Bill.

I miss our praying
 before each meal
I miss sharing with you
 The love I feel.

For all of the love
 you gave to me.
But God said, "No" 
 to my appeal
To keep you here on earth
  ~with me.

And though your home
 is in heaven now
I still can feel your love
 here below
As I reminisce about you.

I always see you smiling
 as pain for you is over
Thanking God for 
 relieving your suffering
But I sure wish we could
 live life all over.

For I'd do it all again
Loving you as I did back when
 We fell in Love.
Love at first sight
Love at last
 will forever be my theme
Until I join you up above
  I will have to only dream.
