Nan My eyes well up With sadness for when I lost my nan I loved her more than words can describe Sadness from my soul But I remember good times There what makes me smile There how I remember When I was a child Holidays in skeggy Laughter all the while And in school holidays shopping We had fun all the time When I remember the sad times My mind it switches off Such a thing to happen To my lovely Nani know I should have cried I know I should have done more I know I should have showed my love It breaks my heart I know Nan would have had fun with my boys I wish she was still here I wish she was still around To see their smiley cheer She’d love their cheekiness I know She’d love how they never slowed she’d love how they run about How they laugh then shout aloud But I know she’s watching Laughing at my boys How they lark about Playing with their toys Tears remain over years that pass Pain never lessons over times onward march But memories of good times remain Of holidays fun and games Of visits chats and happiness Nan I miss you.
