Marshall Should Be One Today

Cakes shaped like trucks and balloons fill the air
and mothers hold their kids without care
as the sound of laughter surrounds all who are there...


I close my eyes and wish you were here
then I open them and it's just not meant to be.
Tomorrow should be a grand day for all here
instead I'm the one remembering with tears.

We chose the 11th because it follows the tenth
and a birth would be a great way to offset her death!
You didn't make it that far and we had to say goodbye too soon
but that doesn't mean I forgot the cake and balloons.

This day will always be a reminder of what was lost...
our first son who was taken at such a great cost.
So today, as I celebrate what should have been your first
I just want you to know that for you, my soul thirsts.
