Nanny Don'T Be Scared
Awaiting the news, we feared the worst and hoped for the best.
Life was about to put my family through an unforgettable test
Mom came in, evidence on her face, that nanny wasn't okay
"nanny has cancer" mom cried "we won't see her for a couple of days"
I didn't sleep that night, that night was one of the worst
I have never been to a funeral before, and I feared nannys would be my first
I cried myself to sleep, and little did I get
I wasn't ready too lose my only great nana yet
After the hospice , I visited nanny, and I don't mean to be rude
But seeing her like this scared me, she looked like a skeleton decorated in tubes
It was exceptionally difficult not to cry, but I tried oh so hard
I walked over, hugged nanny tight, and handed her my home-made card
It said: nanny I hope you get well soon, I know you'll be okay
It's okay to be scared, we'll visit you everyday.
And when you get home, things will change, we won't ever fight, it's true.
nanny never give up, keep on fighting...
I never want to lose you.
As her eyes scanned across the page, tears welled up in her eyes.
That was the first day I've ever seen my nanny cry.
We hugged for forever, cried together, and quickly did time pass.
I never wanted to stop saying "I love you" for fear it would be the last.
