Christmas In July

When July approaches this year

I'll set up a tree as though you were here

Decorate with flowers in memory of you

And lights of azure blue

The color of your eyes

A beautiful surprise

 

When July approaches this year

I'll celebrate your birthday as though you were here

Light a candle

Set it upon the mantle

In remembrance of you

For my love for you is forever true

 

When July approaches this year

I'll not hold back a single tear

You were far too young

My darling son

To be taken away

At such a young age

 

When July approaches this year

I'll hold your memories near

To my heart and my soul

Never shall I let go

I shall always celebrate your life

On your birthday it will be like Christmas in July

It is hard for me to imagine the painfull loss of a child. This is a beautiful poem. Celebrate the life, the love and the memory.

Very heartfelt and touching. Your words flowed not with sadness, but with longing yet acceptance. To celebrate your sons' birth like Christmas shows how special he was to you.

This is a well written piece. It reflects a inner peace throughout.

excellent.
