Nan

Five years ago today my Nan should've been 90 But instead i sat with her while she died in her nighty The silence in the room was all that was left But i understand the special time i spent with her,as she drew her last breath Her soul had gone but her body still lay I would do anything to get, just one more day She was kind and loving and taught me well Its times like this i suppose i shouldn't dwell If only i had known what was to come I'd have give her my life and had more fun She may have been old but age is but a number She was a gran, a sister and a beautiful mother I have her picture hanging pride of place For many years she will be in that favourite place Many happy returns wherever you are Im sure youre looking down at me from your special star When i see a robin i think of you The stories you told me were beautiful too You sang me to sleep when i was so so small And i thank you for showing how to stand tall We had great times and shared so much I will never forget your loving touch

Your beautiful sentiments in this poem so reflect my feelings of love and loss for my lovely Granny, she died in her 90th year but I wanted more time with her. We were both lucky to have such special Grandmothers. Well written Carlton.
