Dear Nanny

Dear Nanny I wish for you to stay, Stay and see me glow and grow old The bond between you and me is unbreakable I wish my home was your home Those sleepless nights you hold me in your arms Singing incomplete lullaby with some words swallowed with the big sleepy eyes widely opened I wish my home was your home. Waking up seeing you is still the sweetest memory Your secret cuddles gave warmth to my bones Your love dwells in my heart and inspires my soul I wish my home was your home My thoughts told me you were my mommy, Thinking that my mommy was the nanny Because every second you had me on your back But I realized raising me was the source of your income I wish my home was your home Your smile and purity fooled the reality The laughter and songs made me feel at home I remember you used to kiss me secretly So that mama won’t yell at you She says your mouth stinks but what I smell is love that genuine love I thought my poop was nice to smell with that smile on your face whenever you changed my diapers but the smell was not that entertaining for now I can honestly smell and throwing up is to come I wish my home was your home That you could have stayed longer And I would have bought you a house if that was your dream Giving you a better life that was my dream And writing you a poem is what I can afford
