“Three years of birthdays without you,
only one wish could there be,
to blow out my candles
and have you standing there beside me.
Three birthdays of missing you.
Three birthdays with a heart of pain.
What I wouldn’t give
to have you in my life again.
I miss your smiling face,
the warmth and love that was you.
Everyone else came first in your life,
it was just something you’d do.
I hope you knew what you meant us,
know how much you are missed.
Do you know how often you’re thought of or how many times your picture is kissed?
You made an impact on your family,
everlasting and always there.
The heartache I feel from losing you
is at times more than I can bear.
How I wish I could blow out my candles
and have you back in my life. The roles you played were many,
as grandmother, mother, and wife,
But I know my wish can’t come true,
you will never again stand beside me.
The only way I can see you now
is in pictures, memories, and dreams.”
