It Was Time To Give You Your Wings

I didn't buy you a birthday gift,
No flowers, no card and no cake.
No songs did I sing,
No bells did I ring,
No surprise party plans did I make.

Nor did I visit the place where you rest,
I know I cannot find you there.
This year, instead, all you'll

receive
Is one very heartbroken prayer.

May your special day last forever,
In the shelter of God's loving arms.
May you know that I'm thinking of you,
Though the distance between us is far.
You know you were always my angel,
But God in his wisdom did see,
That no matter how much I would miss you,
It was time to give you your wings.
