You were the hardest worker I ever knew,
You were the kindness person anyone could ever know,
You’d do anything for anyone and expect nothing in return.

You bought joy to peoples lives and put a smile on everyone’s face,
But you wouldn’t let anyone talk down to you and you’d soon put them in their place

For all those people that you’d cared for, for 27 long years,
They were blessed to have you, because you’re a saint, so here’s to you Nan cheers

Even in your final years, you never stopped caring for everyone else, the poor little creature in the corner you’d say, oh Nan you brought me to tears

Coming to your house to eat nanny’s stew, you taught us how to make it, but we’re not a patch on you.

You’d always call us your little darling angels, only now your our angel watching over us, making sure we do right, but you’d tell us never make a fuss

You are my hero nanny, my inspiration and my angel, you are the brightest star in the sky, and you are the most beautiful butterfly flying high

You’re now free from all the hurt, free from the pain, your free from the forgetfulness but life will never be the same.
All the times we shared together, all the happy days we had, I will cherish those moments forever and think of them when i'm sad.

I will not stand at your grave and weep, as I know that your not there, you’re in paradise now, and their blessed to have you there.

I will celebrate your life and all the good times we had, and think of all our memories, not one of them sad.

Nan I miss you real bad and the pain knowing your gone and never coming back makes me real sad. But I know what you’d want me to do and I know exactly what you’d say, I’m in peace now my darlings, do not worry, I really am ok.

In Sympathy

So sorry for your loss. Your story has touched my heart. My nan passed away in July and it feels like my whole world has been taken away. My thoughts are with you and your family. God bless. I hope you find this poem of comfort, as I have done. x

What is Dying?

A ship sails and I stand watching till she fades on the horizon and someone at my side says 'She is gone'.

Gone where? Gone from my sight, that is all. She is just as large now as when I last saw her. Her diminished size and total loss from my sight is in me, not in her.

And just at the moment when someone at my side says she is gone there are others who are watching her coming over their horizon and other voices take up a glad shout 'There she comes!'

That is what dying is. An horizon and just the limit of our sight.

Lift us up, Oh Lord, that we may see further.
