A year or so ago my nan passed away
When she was here we didn't have much to say
I was her first grandchild which didn't seem to mean much
And through the years we didn't really keep in touch
Then she got the dreaded C
Pancreatic cancer at the age of 83
Wished we could have been closer
Missed having chats and getting to hug her
Into the hospice she went and the day before she died
I sat by her bed wanting to stay by her side
She held my hand tightly with tears down her cheek
Slowly breathing and desperately trying to speak
But I guess all those years that went flying by
Had come into her heart which made her cry
So wishing what could and should have been
Which then in turn made me cry at this so sad scene.
