To Nanna with love from Elaine xoxo
Like a Mother to Me
From the start, I won your heart
You held me close, secure in your love
School days, scraped knees
Wiped my tears, calmed my fears
Picked me up when I cried,
Rocked me by the fireside
Awoke in a fright,
Cuddled me in the night
Holidays in the sun,
Time with cousins so much fun!
Car rides to the coast,
You loved ice cream the most!
Cooking, baking
Cleaning, ironing
Dancing, singing
Shopping, playing
Moved away to a better life
Heartbroken to leave your side
Cried for a year,
Not having you near
The years have past
Our love remained steadfast
As I wipe away another tear
I will always hold our memories dear
I stroked your hair,
I held you tight
At the end of my days,
I pray we will reunite!
Nanna, you’ll always be
Like a mother to me
