Today there is a party that I have an invitation to

But it’s not yet my time to attend

Today there is a party to celebrate a birth

A life renewed now without an end

 

I’m unsure if there will be cake or presents

For it’s location will be the real gift

Family and friends who are already there

They’ve been waiting to seal the rift

 

To the one who was our own personal loss

Has now become one of Heaven’s newest gains

Arriving just in time to celebrate

Restored and freed from his earthly pain

 

Happy 80th birthday Dad
