GRANNY

Grand as a second Mother, and as any Grandmother can be.

Responding to people’s needs around her, that she would see

Able to work well with children as she was a teacher

Never turning you away, but giving of advice like a preacher

Name of Nanny we gave her, when we were quite small

Yearning to be with her Lord, at the end her all in all

This was my Nanny as best as I can see.

I just hope she knew how much she meant to me.

Now I know she’s happy,

And no longer is she in pain,

For she’s in heaven with her Lord,

A grand and glorious thing.
