FALLER

CHRISTOPHER RONALD

Happy Birthday, sweet Angel Christopher,

Thirty-five years ago today

you were sent to us as a special gift,

But we didn't know that you could not stay.

I held you in my arms,

And you held all of our love in your heart.

We only got the chance to hold you for seven short years,

Then our world was torn apart.

I remember your birthday in earlier years,

Filled with joy and not with tears.

With many smiles and laughter too,

Your seven birthdays here we celebrated with you.

But now your birthday is a sad time,

Your laughter we hear no more.

But I know we would see your happy face

If we could see you today through Heaven's door.

So today on your 35th birthday we gather together

With balloons at your final resting place,

And with such sorrow in our hearts

And tears on our faces.

We send up to Heaven

These balloons filled with our love,

And I imagine you reaching down

And catching them in Heaven above.

Today you celebrate another birthday

In that beautiful place called Heaven,

But we will always celebrate the day

That God sent us an angel, who sadly is forever seven.

In Loving Memory of Christopher Ronald Faller

May 7, 1990 - March 24, 1998

With all of our love on your 35th Birthday,

Mommy, Daddy, Rachel and Mark
