Today with all your Angel friends
And Angel brothers, you
Will share a smile, till it extends
To Angel sisters too

Today, dear Johnny, I’ll recall
How blessed I was to be
The one God chose to have it all
When He sent you to me

Today, my treasured earth angel
I’ll picture you above
And for you, I will only dwell
On unconditional love

Today, while reminiscing, I’ll
Not give into emotion
But will recall how you, my child
Taught love and true devotion

Today, compassion, I will show
On hearts in need of joy
And empathy, I will bestow
In memory of my boy

Today, my son, I’ll be content
In thoughts, my heart will roam
Back to the day when you were sent
Not when you were called home

Today, again, my heart will cry
And my soul will decree
“He’s Free, he’s Free, my darling boy”
From pain and agony

Today, the stars I’ll gaze upon
While you’re at Heaven’s fountain
Drink freely and then little John
“Go rest high upon the mountain”

Today, I’ll say, he’s in a place
Where he’s been given wings
And oh, to see an angel’s face
When my sweet Johnny sings

Today, I’ll wish, my baby boy
A birthday that beats all
Go Johnny, now you can enjoy
At last, a game of ball!!
