My Nan
The doctor saw my Nan today
And he made it clear
There’s no improvement, none at all
Does Nan even know I’m here?
As I sit close by her bed
Her eyes stare into space
Like windows with the curtains drawn
And pain shows in her face.
Some time ago when I was small
My Nan looked after me
A cuddle and elastoplast
When I had grazed my knee.
I really took so much for granted
My Nan for me was always there
Does she know how much I love her
Does she know how much I care.
She looks so tiny and so frail
When will the hurting cease
And so I pray both night and day
That she will soon find peace.
