A Call
It was 10am
And I stood still wondering why
Did'nt want to cry did'nt know why
Then came the call
I neally dropped to the floor
What was I going to find
My head full of panic
My body aching with manic
Got to the ward and saw my family
There faces said all
I wanted to crumble because of there stare
Doctors came in and sat us down
Told us words that we did'nt understand
Thats my nan as I ran to her
There she lay a night and a day
I prayed and prayed my fear my unbelieving eyes cried
Not my nan not my nan please not my nan please I beg
In and out the doctors came a day and a night
I prayed please please please don't take my nan
Then things went mad family came in and stood still
The time stood still the air stopped in the room
I knew what was happening silence overbearing silence
I took her hand and kissed her face a powdered cheek
My nan My nan
I watched and held My nan as her spirt was taken
From panic to fear to sudden calm
I will always love my nan...
