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.
