For an Angel on His Birthday


Happy Birthday to an Angel

May you know how much you’re missed

By all of those whose lives you touched

Which are more than I could list.


May you enjoy this day

With your Father above,

In the light of His glory,

And wrapped in His love.


My prayers are with your family and friends

Who all are missing you so.

The ones who stood beside you

Through the years, and watched you grow


From a small boy full of mischief,

To a grown man proud and tall,

To a warrior filled with courage,

A fallen soldier who gave all.


Thank you, dear angel, for selflessly living

The life that you so freely gave

For love of your brothers, for love of your country,

The land of the free and the brave.


I’m sure of the words of our Father above

As into Heaven He welcomed you.

“Well done, my son, you’re finally home

My good servant, faithful and true.”


Happy Birthday Adam.
