Nanna

Nanna, I have watched you fading over the years
But even though you were sick you helped me grow
To other people you were just my grandmother
But to me you were much, much more then that

I miss all your stories, from when you were a young girl
I miss the way you used to be so proud of my hair
I miss your yummy biscuits, your biscuits and your cakes
I miss the way you used to laugh at me, when I told you what Iâ??d done

When God took you away, he wasnâ??t being fair
But I understand that now, you are in no more pain
No more aching ankles, or sore wrists, no more hurting
Youâ??re in a happier place now Nanna and we all miss you

I miss your cosy little room, with its heaters in the roof
I miss the way you looked over me, whenever I got in trouble
I miss the way you would set me straight, when my attitude ran wild
I miss telling you, how I am going in English and Math

Even though my tears still run, they arenâ??t all sad tears
Some of my tears are happy tears, because you arenâ??t hurting anymore
I know your watching over me, since the second God took you away
Please continue doing this Nanna, for one day we will meet again

I miss the way you would tell me, that I would be fine in all my tests
I miss the way you would just sit and listen while I talked and talked
I miss the times when you told me that I was growing up to fast
I miss you teaching me how to cook, and how to â??measureâ?? the sugar

Remember Nanna, how you used to wave your knife around
We would be cooking, and someone would knock on the door
You would walk to the door, knife and hand, and greet them
They always looked so shocked, because you would always be smiling

I miss the way we used to drink â??coffee and milkâ?? at 2 in the morning
I miss the way you would always have a smile on your face, no matter what
I miss the nights when you would come down and cook fish for us
I miss the times when we tried to get a photo of you, but you wouldnâ??t let us
I guess what Iâ??m saying is that I miss you Nanna, and I love you.
