Nanny

When I was a child, you were the light of my life

You  were always  there to protect me, and hug me at night.

When I got in trouble, and did something wrong

You always stood in front of me, and said leave him alone.

I remember the stories , that you would tell

As you rock me in your arms, in the rocking chair,
out on the front porch.

Telling me stories of your husband , my great grandfather

And his musical band..  

How sad you were, that he had passed away

At such a very young age.

As time went on , we had many adventures

 Like water ice's in the summers , with very salty pretzels.

Trips to the sea shore, with walks on the beach

Walking on the boardwalk , and you giving me  many treats.

When came bedtime , I would come in you room

You would always pull down the covers, to make me room.

At those times , I knew I was loved, with all your kisses  and all your hugs.

Like anything else, there came the day, when you passed away

I knew at that monument,  it was the end, for hugs , kisses

And for someone who cared, no more stories on the front porch

In the rocking chair.  

A few weeks later , I was sitting in your room.

When all of a sudden your rocking chair began to move.

At first I was scared, but then it came clear

You  would never be in live forum,  but you would

always be near.
