20 Candles

I've wondered about this day, how naked this earth would feel missing all the beauty that your life came to reveal.. i've wondered about this day; and our days apart just seem to grow what your mother must have felt, 20 years ago... I've wondered about this day, and how I denied it'd ever come How many people here are missing you..so much it makes me numb today is your birthday, there should be 20 candles on a cake.. I've wondered about this day; your absence is keeping me awake.. I've wondered about this day, do we celebrate or mourn? this day is like a rose. and every rose has it's thorn.. I've wondered about this day, a day that's just for you Today is your birthday, and today I honor you.
