"Happy birthday to you"
Everyone cheers and sings,
For you only sadness rings
Another day has come,
It may feel wrong
To laugh and celebrate
To smile in delight,
When the days surrounding yours
Took away so much life.
You have lost so much
A mother's hug and touch
A grandmother's joy and delight.
You have gained so much strife.

I have no wise words to ease the pain
To stop you feeling this way
But I really believe you can regain
The ray of sunshine on this day
They will never truely be gone
In you they live on,
Their smile, their laugh, let it remain
And forever be your birthday song.
