It is your third birthday today.
This whole world is still new to you
You're learning everyday,
how to live like this.

It is your third birthday.
You're looking through new eyes
even if it's only been one more year
Things look different.

It is your third.
birthday without me.
I'll lay your presents in front,
of the solid gold box that holds your ashes.

It is your smile, or the memories,
that keep away my haunting fears.
And I will celebrate your birth,
For all the years you are not here.
