Mummy why does nanna have such pruney skin
mummy why does nanna insist upon us not commiting a sin??
she showers me with cookies
she teaches me to bake
and guess what happened today mum??
nanna taught me never to be fake!
Mummy i dont understand how nanna is always nice
mummy i havent seen her mad, not once, not twice
she dresses me in her manners
she makes me be polite
and guess what else i learnt mum??
nanna at my age was the same height
Mummy why does nanna have the very warmest arm
Mummy i dont think that nanna could ever do you harm
She tells me of her being a girl
She today, for hours read
and mummy guess my favourite thing??
When she tucks me into bed.
Mummy why is nanna so white
Mummy she said she just had a rough night
She isnt weak
Shes always strong
Mummy im right arent I?
Nanna will be here all along
Mummy shes taught me everything i need to know
Mummy you are clever but nanna is more so
She let me be who i want to be
She still lets me grow
Mummy shes my idol
Do you think i need let her know??
Mum years have passed since i wrote this
Mum years she has not had to miss
She watched me mature
She kept me straight
Mum whats happening
Tell me Im not to late!
Mum i know her skins grown cold
Mum i know how many times ive been told
She is my best friend
She cant die
Mum she isnt going
Not our Nanna, God why??
Mum dont tell me she has gone
Mum its not a joke
She is to stubborn
She is to special to me
Mum shut up this hurts
She is alive, just see
Mummy please let me wake
Mummy let me eat more of Nannas cake
She isnt lying cold
She isnt lying at rest
Mummy shes not in that coffin
Nans living life the best
OH god mum her skins so white
Oh god mum shes lost the fight
I loved her more than anything
I need her to keep going
Mum why cant i help her
Why isnt her blood still flowing
Family id like a poem to be read
Family id like it to be me who said
Nanna was our warmth
Nanna was out light
Family Nanna will always be with us
In our hearts, through day and night.
