Nan

My time has come to say goodbye
when I leave please don't cry
I had many long loving years
and for those you need not shed your tears

You gave me joy you gave me love
you always went beyond and above
you always treated me with loving care
at times I think more then you could bear

You opened your heart and your home
Always made sure I was not alone
You made me get up and on my way
to come have dinner almost every Sunday

I sat in the chair as I watched you cook
giving you tips from my own cook book
the one that is tucked deep within my mind
the one on the shelves you shall never find

I know in my heart my lessons you learned
and even perhaps a few dishes burned
even though I have gone away
the memories and love shall always stay

Save this tradition even though I am gone
I know in my heart you can carry on
bringing our friends and family together
helping them thru the stormy weather

I send you these words to keep in your heart
and know that we are never apart
I send them to you my granddaughter with love
as I watch down upon you from up above

These words are written in loving memory of
