Jacob Andrew Baldt

In loving memory of our beloved Jacob Andrew Baldt

July 13, 1995 to February 1, 2010

Thinking of you on your Birthday, Jacob,

But that is nothing new

For no day dawns and no day ends

Without a thought of you.

It tears could wash away our pain,

We would not feel such hurt again,

The heartbreak felt since you’ve been gone,

We wouldn’t wish on anyone,

But today is your birthday,

So we’ll have to be brave

And accept God’s taken what first He gave.

Today, Jake, you would be a young man of 17.

Our Love for you embraces the 14 special years you lived this human life with us.

We cherish the precious moments we spent together during your brief time here,

And give thanks, on your Birthday, for the blessing of your life with us.
