Lane waiting for his Nana 

I'm standing in the doorway,
And watching for her car.
Mommy said she comes today,
I can’t wait to feel her arms.
 
She always reads me stories
And tickles me to sleep.
She gives me toys and bible books
That I will always keep.
 
I ride her back like ‘horsie’
She makes me laugh too much,
And throws me up into the air,
This person that I love.
 
I wish that all my friends
Could have someone like her.
A grandma to adore them
And put them in her prayers.
 
My brother is too young now
To roll upon the floor.
Whenever he gets old enough,
He’ll join me at the door.
 
We’ll wait until she gets here
Then play with her all day.
There’s no one else like 'Nana',
It’s meant to be that way.

This is lovely! Makes me wish for my Nana that passed when I was very little otherwise I never knew my other grandparents. This write makes me remember just the slightest bit and I thank you for that. Michael

A beautiful poem and of course you know the feeling, being a child before. Think I will get me a premium member ship this week.
