“Today is your birthday in heaven above,
My blessings I send on the wings of this dove.
Not just for today but everyday hereof.
Always loved, forever missed!
.
A birthday candle sits on your grave today
We miss you the same as when you first went away.
The angels are blessed to have you in HEAVEN
You’ve always been as lucky as the number seven.
.
Your photo has not moved from beside my bed.
The memories never died, 
They just came to an abrupt end.
There is so much more I know I should’ve said.”

Pawnah chuan ka thu hnawk a, Van lam chu ka hawi a, a hmaa ruah sur mai tura lang chu alo thiang kuar a, “Tluangpui, I birthday chu vanah khan in lawm ngei ang tih ka ring, Happy birthday”tiin ka phun sap a.
.
Beyond the door there’s peace I’m sure, and I know there will be no more tears in heaven.
