Great nan and grandad

by shona   Dec 6, 2005


The funeral's coming up this Friday
all the family will be there what will i say,
I remember my nanny grace's funeral, everyone stood round and watched her go down into the ground,
My sister started saying NO NO don't let her go,
My Nan and mum started crying, my granddad looked like he was dieing my brother went white in his face and i felt in a complete state.
Watching my great Nan go down in a hole in the ground, i felt so alone,
I felt there's no one there anymore who would love and care for me like she did.
She had been everything to me as a kid,
She would sing me songs
and be there everyday for so long
but now it's my granddad's time to go.
His soul will drift far away
and there it shall forever stay
in a peaceful place
not in a wooden coffin case,
he will be with my Nan
and i can see his face now
a smile with a big bright tan.

I wrote this when i had lost my great Nan then not long after i lost my great granddad i was only age 13.
