‘Poem to our Nan’

written by Donna Moss

Of all the special gifts in life
However great or small
To have you as our nan
Was the greatest gift of all!

Growing up you had us all
Causing havoc at your feet
Pulling on your apron strings
As you baked our favorite treat

In your garden we would play
And swing in the apple tree
You would get us to pick the apples
For grandads pie for tea

Sleepovers were the very best
Filled with such love and fun
Oh, the many songs and stories
You would never say 'just one!'

Christmases were special too
Having all of us together
The cards and games we all would play
Will stay with us forever

You have touched each one of us nan
In your very own special way
From letting us skip PE
To giving us a place to stay

We were not ready to lose you nan
One more, hug, or song or rhyme?
What we really want we cannot have
And that is precious time
