Nanny
you may be gone.
but not for long.
we will join you soon.
you are just over the dunes
I have something to say.
last time we came to see you during the day.
the reason we left so fast.
just in case you asked.
was because he was there.
we left so fast we disappeared into thin air.
we didn't get to talk.
your white hair was like chalk.
we thought we had more time.
I did mime. sorry
and that was it.
the last time we saw you.
I wish I could talk to you once more.
and now your gone.
a year ago.
your funeral on my sisters birthday.
im sorry we didn't come to the funeral.
you know why and I know that you understand.
that is what makes you so grand.
in your final stand.
now I can say.
I love you and I am sorry you are gone.
in memory of Jean Jones who passed away 1st September 2012.
who will be sorely missed.
