Missing You: A Heavenly Birthday Tribute

Missing You: A Heavenly Birthday Tribute

A poem written by Travis Jr.’s mother, co-founder of Remembering My Child, in honor of Travis Jr.’s second heavenly birthday, which was July 1.

Missing You 

 

It’s your birthday today and we’re missing you 

Missing your smile 

Your laugh  

Your voice 

Your words 

 

Missing your growth 

And so much more  

 

Today you’d be two and we’re missing you 

Missing your steps  

Your jumps 

Your leaps  

Your runs 

 

Missing your milestones   

And much more fun  

 

On your birthday today we’re missing you  

Missing your cry 

Your reach 

Your play  

Your teeth 

 

Missing your breath  

More than words can express 

 

Today’s your birthday, today we miss you 

Tomorrow and after, the same will be true  

 

We’ll miss your touch  

Your hugs  

Your love  

 

We’ll miss your joy 

Sweet baby boy  

 

But we hope one day  

To hold you close 

Until then, we’ll say  

For another year  

Happy heavenly birthday  

Our dear,  

Travis Jr.
