Nan Poems - Poems about Nan

We had so much fun, didn't we nan ! You were my bestest friend. Getting up to mischief, any problem we could mend. Rolling on the floor with laughter, tears streaming down our face. How lucky was I, that you were mine, we had no time to waste. Caravanning holidays, a great time by the sea. Paddling, building castles, you,...

A shining light has now been dimmed A voice we loved is stilled The chair where you sat, now empty Is a place that can never be filled A golden heart has stopped beating So loving, so pure, so kind But her memory will live on forever In the legacy that she left behind For so many years she has reigned Our mum,...

Maram grass dewed. An adda takes a chance, And, drinks from the dewed Maram, Ere the sun dried it. Now full of pep was awa. Saw, I was astounded! Or did I just imagine?

Sewing machine, long idle, gathered dust Absentmindedly, Jackie wrote her name thereupon, watching as dust motes floated upwards, caught in sunset's evening rays Brushing away a tear, she turned around surveying, Nan's neglected room provoked, a vague feeling of emptiness Psychically, Jackie, quite distinctly heard "The war years seemed like only yesterday" It was her Nan's voice. Jackie gasped aloud "Nan, is that you"? "I'm...

We write this poem for our missing Nan, She vanished, we don’t know where you are. The computer swallowed our precious Nan, To us she was always our loving star. She pressed the wrong keys And disappeared from view. It devoured her completely, Only left her right footed shoe, Experts searched the computer, Couldn’t find any clue. We searched every programme, Files of every kind. We asked...

She’s always very clean and neat With chocolate, sweets and other treats When mummy says no, nanny wins Like when we want to do baking Peek-a-boo to nursery rhymes Mischief making, pull faces times Lots of games and lots of laughter Silly times like when nan’s dafter At the park on swings and slides When it rains build tents and hide We like to colour...

Walks with her shopping bag on her arm, A big heavy light leather bag, Her Mary Poppins bag, She wants her milk, The green topped one for her tea, She doesn’t like the other one, Something nice, Some of that chocolate as well, See if they’ve got that stuff That stuff in the packet was nice, I don’t like that “whats it called” It had...

Little Nan in kindergarten Has learned to say, “I beg your pardon”, “Excuse me”, “thank you” and “if you please”, And other phrases such as these. When home she hugs her little brother And is a helper for her mother. She is so sweet that it is cloying And others find her quite annoying....

I used to sit on my Nan’s knee; she ran her fingers through my hair She told me all the stories of when she thought life was still fair Many a time just sitting there listening to her stories told with mirth I wouldn’t have swapped it for anything; there was nothing of equal worth. Stories of my granddad,...
