Poetry: Death of a loved one

by Tammy Horton

Created on: May 16, 2008

The birds were singing as you took your last breath,
On that sunny july day when the angels took you away,
We wonder why they took our nan who was so full of life,
We still cry each day and the pain is still raw.

We still remember you're smile and the way you made us laugh,
When we stayed up all night talking and watching tv,
We remember you're scent and when we close our eyes we can remember the times spent,
We know you're at peace and happy up there, but we want you here our lives to share.

When we had our children we knew you was there, standing there smiling the proud great grandmother,
We know you watch over us all of the time how we miss you Nan,
We wish you was here to see how we have grown,
We know you would be proud you have no need to frown,
We think of you every day to keep bad thoughts at bay.

We love and miss you Nan
