Happy Birthday, Dakota
Some months have gone by
though so cruely short
Your friend lays around
missing your rapport
Your mother goes on
as humans are forced to do
Know that she’s okay,
but still can’t see a picture of you
Your father plays it tough
He’s a man after all,
his pain he won’t show
but he’ll notice a fall
Your sisters regret
leaving so quick
But they never could’ve known
that you would get sick
There was nothing to be done
It all happened so fast
But now we’ve reached your birthday
and it’s to heaven that our wishes are cast
