I-Pod Granny

This poem is about a place,
  I-Pod Granny and "Good-Friend".
  Shawn, Britney and Nurse,
  You'll think it will never end!
   
  The place is MD Anderson.
  It's a wonderful place to be.
  I-Pod Granny and "Good-Friend" come often.
  She's getting well, you see.
   
  "Good-Friend" stays right beside her.
  He fills the place with cheer.
  Nurse says she's gonna "shoot him"
  But she loves it that he's here.
   
  Today "Good-Friend" felt poorly
  I-Pod Granny sent him out to nap.
  She would do the same during chemo
  She even "shed her wrap"!
   
  Nurse came to check on Granny
  And found "Good-Friend" not here.
  She thought, "Poor I-Pod Granny"
  Now her room has lost its cheer.
   
  But there inside Granny's bible
  She saw Shawn and Britney smiling - yes, from ear to ear.
  And she saw that just like "Good-Friend"
  They filled her room with cheer.
   
  I-Pod Granny told Nurse about family
  That is with her every day.
  One an itch, some as bookmarks
  Some in e-mails from far away.
   
  Some a phone call, some a visit
  Each in his own special way
  This family keeps Granny smiling 
  Just like she is today.
   
  How did she become I-Pod Granny?
  Carter can tell you about that.
  But Nurse could see this family is special
  Where ever they are at.
   
  And "Good-Friend" has help when he needs it
  Whether they're close by or far away.
  They all keep Granny happy
  Just like Shawn and Britney did today.
