HAPPY HEAVENLY BIRTHDAY, DAD
No cake with fancy icing to eat.
No wrapped presents to give.
No candles to blow out.
No wishes for more years to live.
You’re having the best birthday of all.
In your new home above the sun.
For once, you have more guests than ever,
And I bet you’re having so much fun…
Happy Heavenly Birthday, Dad,
From your earthly family.
We miss you more than words can say.
But we know you’re as happy as you can be.
We know you’ll live forever,
Up in God’s loving embrace.
You’ll have the time of your eternity,
To see everyone’s smiling face.
We don’t wish you down here,
For here, there’s only misery and pain.
But up there, there’s happiness for sorrow,
Up there, there’s sunshine for rain.
Happy Heavenly Birthday, Dad,
From your earthly family.
We miss you more than words can say.
But we know you’re as happy as you can be.
Our tears may down here still flow,
We’re sorry that you had to go.
But knowing what you had to go through,
We wish only love and happiness for you.
One day we’ll be with you above the sky.
One day we will no longer cry.
At that time, we’ll be together again.
But meanwhile, until then…
Happy Heavenly Birthday, Dad,
From your earthly family.
We miss you more than words can say.

i have a slightly different idea about heaven(s) and 'after' live(s).
always good to wish someone happiness and well though.
And I realize that others' idea of the afterlife (if they have one at all) may be different than mine.
