West Virginian Angel

West Virginian Angel

by Bud Lemire on April 2, 2005

Just a few years ago, I entered a chatroom

Hosted by a West Virginian woman, playing happy tunes

She had her regulars, always coming there

In this special place, where friends gathered to share

She'd be in the spotlight, singing a favorite song

Everyone caught up in it, they would sing along

She made everyone feel special, who came to her place

Visions of a happy woman, with smiles upon her face

But life for her wasn't easy, sometimes it got hard

She'd always try her best, to hold the winning card

Everyone has a story, for her it is the same

For this West Virginian Angel, and Nancy is her name

We all know her as Nan, and her halo shines so bright

You can feel her spirit, and be taken in by her light

Native American roots, her spirit proud and strong

You can feel captivated, and want to sing along

Nan, you've always been a friend, all through these years

Through the happy times, and through all the tears

Your voice is so soothing, to the human soul

And you're a very special friend, that I've come to know
