Nick Hawkins, I thank you from the bottom of my heart
for letting me place this poem here in my site.
Out of sight isn't out of my mind, especially during times of angst
and despair. There are people out there whom support friends
and family all their lives. But who looks out for them ?)
This was the original version of "Nana's Poem" before adaptation
which follows this one.
I've just wished your wishes and closed my eyes
Thinking of you today,
I was hoping you'd hear my solitary voice
As I looked to the heavens and prayed
The lord will do unto his duty
Honouring the requests of us all,
He will perform what nature requires of him
While helping to catch your fall
The tears he will dry with fresh winds
The smiles he will return with grace,
The sun will shine on you today
When he arrives in your personal space
Look to the skies with courage and thought
As time deciphers the pain,
Preparing the worst, strengthens the quest
Of being alive again
Endear what tenderness delivers
Soft touches adhered in support,
The love and kisses that come from your soul
Are gestures that cannot be caught
The tears he will dry with fresh winds
Your smiles he will return with grace,
The sun will shine on the world today
Across your delicately sculptured face
