Nancy's Birthday

Today is your birthday many will hold you near 
Instead of celebrating I'm holding back these tears 
I miss you everyday but today it hits me more 
Losing a true friend  someone that I adored 
I wish that you were celebrating surrounded by your kids 
I often feel there pain and know your truly miss 
I guess I'll light a candle and say a special prayer 
I'll think of happy thoughts and times that we have shared 
I want to thank you Nancy for being in my life 
Even though your no longer here I hold you close inside 
Happy Birthday Nancy I yell this out with pride 
For even though your body is gone your spirit never dies
