December 1, 2004 There’s a watch on my wrist That needs to be replaced The face is scratched and worn The light burned out in May I cannot get a new one I wear it every day We picked it together you and I Smiling and laughing all the way These are things I think about On your 18th Birth Day Today is filled with thoughts of you And your loving, caring ways Remember sledding down the driveway At old West Glenville Road? Oh what fun we had Don’t land in the pond, you’ll hit a toad! Remember when good ol’ Putnam Took you for a ride He pulled you on your skate board Up and down the road you’d glide And how you loved the kitties They loved you too you know You’d always ask about them And I’d ask about yours also Remember going boating When you were very young? You floated with your mom and dad Uncle Keith let you drive, how fun! And who could forget A Christmas Story? You knew every line by heart We watched it on your birthday We’d laugh at all those funny parts Well Chris, this is your day I know you’re here somehow You’ll be standing by us Ringing bells to help others out And we will gather together With nothing but you in our hearts And wishing you were here To laugh with and play darts Happy 18th birthday Christopher Wherever you may be Because I know in Heaven They’re throwing you a grand party! xxoo, Karen |
