Today is Michael's birthday,
and he's so far from me,
I'm sad that I'm not with him
but, mostly I feel happy.

It's thrilling that it's his birthday,
that he's here on earth with me,
and I'll not lament for missing him
I'll just give thanks he's here you see.

For loving him has been my joy
for many, many years
and I'm just grateful he's alive
so there'll be no painful tears.

God Bless you son, this day and all
where ever we may be,
and maybe one of these birthdays,
it will be your face I'll see.

For all the love a mother bears,
I feel so deep inside,
Happy Birthday Mike, my son
you are your mothers pride!
