Nanny

Angels sit by and watch me cry
i held your hand 
i said goodbye 
My tears staggered 
I try to deny 
As you take your last breath

I hold you tight 
I want you to fight 
But now you have the light
I feel you breath on my cheek 
I hold deep inside of me 
Not wanting to believe what i am seeing

I hold onto you i watch grandads tears
I can not let go of you i brush your hair
I kiss you I kiss you I KISS YOU
That moment i can not forget
A SCAR was left 

The angels came for you 
You took my love with you 
My nan my friend my teacher
My everything .....
Now you sing with the angels that are with you 

I dropped to the floor 
my body broke into 
For there is no longer you 
A meomrie keeps you with me 
In my dream i see 

Too have just one more minute
To tell you all i have told you 
Instead i wait till you are the angel coming for me
