A Different Type of Birthday

Death is not extinguishing the light.
It is only putting out the light because the dawn has come.
Rabindranath Tagore

For Richard

Time passes quietly. 
Silence fills the room.
This is your day of days.
I pause in the stillness of
Your heavenly presence
Warming morning's chill.
A slice of cake awaits.
This is your day of days.
You may not be here, but 
Your heart is leaning in.

  • Note: Today is a solemn day, a different type of birthday. You are here in spirit. We honored your heavenly birthday on Sunday at the little grandgirls' house. All three children placed the candles on the cake, and Sierra decorated the label with your name, Grandpa. Then, the family sang the birthday song and I took photos. My heart is my gift to you...
