Because of you, I learned that living and loving is a choice and that those things fill our lives with meaning. In the name of Jesus, I ask for these blessings and protection for my daughter. Amen." Prayer for Daughter to Make Right Choices For Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month, I decided to bring this story to life. I worked alongside my living children and placed into the world the words that God gave me that day: In times of worry and anxiety about her choices and path in life, remember that you can cast your cares upon Jesus and find peace in the knowledge that He has a plan for her good. Through prayer, you can equip both yourself and your daughter with the wisdom needed to navigate life's challenges and uncertainties, demonstrating your boundless love for her. This is not technically a poem, it’s not technically about a daughter’s birthday, and it’s not even necessarily about death. However, it earns a spot on this list due to the way its lyrics convey a feeling that a parent may want to express when marking the birthday of a daughter who has passed: the feeling that no matter how far away a daughter may seem, they can still be in your heart.

The bond between a loving father and his daughter is nearly impossible to describe in words. If you’re a father whose daughter has passed on, wish her a Happy Birthday in Heaven with a message similar to one of these. 15. “Happy Birthday in Heaven. Being your father has been my greatest joy. It still is, even if you’re no longer here.” Similar to fathers and daughters, mothers and daughters have a bond that is only possible to understand if you have experienced it yourself. As a mother whose daughter has passed on, you can keep that bond alive on your daughter’s birthday with a message such as the following. 17. “I always knew I was blessed to have such a sweet and kind daughter. Now you’re my sweet and kind angel in Heaven. Happy Birthday.” We placed your little body in the most beautiful satin white dress with little pink flowers, matching bonnet, and matching shoes. I sent with you the softest blanket I could find. You have a little pearl bracelet and I have a matching one. We chose the most beautiful, restful, peaceful place for your earthly spot. It is surrounded by fields and pastures and has the most amazing sunsets. It’s near the church where your father and I said our wedding vows. In the quiet moments of these same nights when you hear the wind blow, listen to the whispers carried on those gentle breezes and you will hear . . .I’ve felt your absence every day of my life since you were stolen from me. I fell into a never-ending well of agony after you died. I dwelled there for years. Depression ran in my veins alongside my blood. The blood became rough and scraped up my heart.

Grant her the courage to resist peer pressure and stand firm in her convictions, even when faced with difficult choices. Surround her with positive influences and supportive friends who share her values.

Top Sentimental Message Help Connect with Daughter in Heaven and Loving Memories of a Lost Daughter

Palmer’s last line imagines the death of Keats’s hare, a creature symbolising the necessary words that remained unspoken. Now the present tense adds force to the verbs, “limps”, “trembles” and (not one of Keats’s words) “rots”. The poem doesn’t give way to an easy reconciliation, but sustains its sense of the mortal danger attendant on words – wrong words, and “words not given when they’re sought”. But then I remind myself that maybe I’ve got it all wrong, and you haven’t missed any of it at all. Maybe you just have a better bird’s eye view these days. I know you’re here.

Palmer’s letter writer is a parent, probably the daughter’s father. The sentiments would work for a parent of any gender, but the implied cross-current set up between a father and a daughter adds various tensions. The “harsh speeches” seem all the harsher as a function of gender dissimilarity. Although the speaker is offering the gesture of “amends”, we can’t be entirely sure whose silence was responsible for the freezing of the relationship, nor if only one person failed the other. The poem simply makes clear the fierce emotional chill produced when the words were hard, hasty, or went unsaid. On 27 July 2017, my grandmother passed away. She was suffering from kidney malfunctioning, nausea, trouble sleeping, weakness, muscle cramps (especially in the legs), and what-not because of her age. I am the sun upon your face, I am the wind within your hair, I am the wings of birds in flight, and I will always be right there. You gave me the foundation I needed in life to succeed even if you didn’t realize it. You are such an amazing part of my Legacy and I am such an amazing part of your legacy. Some day, all of this will make sense. I know it hurts right now, but, I want you to know that you and I have a soul’s bond that is unbreakable. When you sit in silence and feel you are pretending what I would say in your thoughts, please know that is really me. When you sleep at night and you see me in your dreams, it is my soul spending time with your soul as your body gets the rest it needs, yes, that is really me with you. If you don’t remember seeing me in your dreams, that is okay, I will keep coming so don’t you worry. That is just your grief clouding your ability to enjoy beauty again and it is really normal. Don’t ever let anyone tell you that you are grieving wrong because you are living and living isn’t an easy thing to do and there is no wrong way of grieving. O flower-born and flower-souled!’ I said, / ‘Be the year-bloom that breathed thee ever red, / Nor wither, yellow, down among the dead.” 10. “A Birthday” by Christina Rossetti

Even Though You’re In Heaven, Your Grandchildren Will Know You

Lord, I ask that you touch the hearts of her friends and acquaintances, leading them toward kindness, empathy, and understanding. May their friendships be built on trust, respect, and mutual support. May they lift each other up and encourage each other daily. May they laugh together, forgive each other, and always be there for each other. In Jesus' name, Amen.
