Tucked Away

Tucked away in my heart
is a very special little miss.
Tucked away in my love
is a most heartfelt birthday wish.

Tucked away in my dreams
are memories of your smile.
Tucked away in my hopes
are wishes for you, child.

I've tucked away these wishes
and hopes and dreams for you.
But every day I visit them
and pray that they come true.

I pray for your happiness,
for your success, and a fulfilled life
I pray that you are challenged to grow
with minimal of strife.

I pray that when you are lost
you seek for answers from above.
I pray that your little heart
will always be full of love.

You have already given me
the most precious gift of all...
You've given me a mother's heart -
You've helped me answer God's call.

I could never fully express
just how much you mean to me.
And how hard it is not being there
and having to let you be.

But I think of you so often
and pray your wishes all come true.
I hope your special day is richly blessed -
Just as I am, to be able to celebrate YOU.

So tucked away I'll keep these wishes
in a reserved space in my soul,
and whenever I am missing you
that is where I'll go.

Happy Birthday, Lil' Bird.  I love you.
