Happy Birthday Mom

I'm not old enough to be a grandma, she'd say,
But you would have been fifty today
so many things have changed since you went away
and we miss you more than words could ever say

Kasandra started school this year
yes I came close to shedding a tear
Isaiah, well he is daddy's little man
and yes he is already a football fan

they are growing so fast you know
i wish you were here to see them grow
there are so many things I wish you could see
how proud of them you would be

Kasandra still asks me why you live so far away
and honestly I still don't know what to say
Mom she gave Jesus her heart
so you won't always be apart

and I admit it's still really hard for me
knowing Isaiah never got to crawl up on your knee
I tell him about the grandma he never knew
and how much i miss you

Sara is still the love of my life
and the worlds greatest, most beautiful wife
most importantly Jesus continues to draw me near
and continues to work on me down here
so until we meet again I just wanted to say
mom I love you and Happy Birthday
