LAST NIGHT
I stood by your bed last night; I came to have a peep.
I could see that you were crying you found it hard to sleep.
I whined to you softly as you brushed away a tear,
"It's me, I haven't left you, I'm well, I'm fine, I'm here."
I was close to you at breakfast, I watched you pour the tea,
You were thinking of the many times, your hands reached down to me.
I was with you at the shops today; your arms were getting sore.
I longed to take your parcels, I wish I could do more.
I was with you at my grave today; you tend it with such care.
I want to re-assure you, that I'm not lying there.
I walked with you towards the house, as you fumbled for your key.
I gently put my hand on you; I smiled and said, "it's me."
You looked so very tired, and sank into a chair.
I tried so hard to let you know, that I was standing there.
It's possible for me, to be so near you everyday.
To say to you with certainty, "I never went away."
You sat there very quietly, then smiled, I think you knew...
in the stillness of that evening, I was very close to you.
The day is over... I smile and watch you yawning
and say "good-night, God bless, I'll see you in the morning."
And when the time is right for you to cross the brief divide,
I'll rush across to greet you and we'll stand, side by side.
I have so many things to show you, there is so much for you to see.
Be patient, live your journey out...then come home to be with me.

This hit me HARD i love you Nan, i miss you, i think about you every second.. I know you are there, above me, above us all. You proved that to me the day i asked for a rainbow and the next time it rained, BAM there it was and then again when you sent me the sideways rainbow, and now when im surfing for nice pictures for a background this comes up... Nan i love you i cant say that enough, there are so many days i catch myself about to call you to tell you something, or want to stop by your house to show you something, i miss you... its been just over a year, but that does not help, its almost a year since your funeral on the 17th and i still barely remember that day a year ago, just remember us all in a daze standing beside your grave as you wanted it, i do wish you had a eulogy (SP?) you helped so many people, so many i mean Senior Citizen of the year from the Goverment of Canada..!??! That does not happen often
im lucky to have had you in my life, to have you as a best friend, and now to have you and our babes as my guardian angels
I LOVE YOU NAN and Baby Lahn xxoxoxox
