SPECIAL PLAYMATE_
I'm standing in the doorway,
And watching for her car.
Mommy said she comes today,
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 horsy'.
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 a prayer.
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.

Poetry: For my grandmother
by Melissa Park
Letter To Gran
When at times life has been tough on you,
You learnt to carry on
When there was none to help you bear the load,

Her things were divided
That thing and this
Some got excited
And grabbed as they wish
They went through her dressers
Her
She placed the dime inside my hand and closed my fingers tight.
Then whispered ‘Keep it secret’ and I whispered
She was my favourite person
She was my dearest friend
I never thought the day would come
When the closeness would end
She was
Grandma's house was full of people
Around Thanksgiving time
There was more food in that one place
Than I have room to rhyme!
