Joshua D. King

With love on his birthday. Joshua D. King May 14, 1974

“Those we have held in our arms for a little while, we hold in our hearts forever.”

Spring rains fall so softly,

My heart drifts back again,

When you were still here,

And life was joyous then.

The years are passing swift,

Now your Dad’s with you,

Sharing your birthday time,

To bring you smiles anew.

We wish we were together,

Like we used to be,

To laugh and to celebrate,

A future we could not see.

The house is too quiet,

The day is way too long,

No presents, no warm pie,

No happy birthday song.

Our hearts still remember,

Those special memories too,

Sending love and bear hugs,

On your birthday, to you.
