Grandma

I saw a old picture
today

in a black and white
frame

hung on a wall

of me being held

in my grandma arms

when I was six months
old

 

its look like I was
smiling away

my grandma look happy
that day

and she held me so
close to her heart

I remember she always
call me baby sweet heart

 

when I got older and
could understand

grandma would always be
full of fun

she tell me stories
from long ago

and she look at the
picture

that hung on her wall

in the black and white
frame

and say it was so long
ago

but I remember that day

 

it was a Sunday
afternoon

when you and your mum
and dad

came round to see me
and your aunt Jane

we had a lovely time

we were all chatting
away

holding you

remind me

of my own babies

I use to hold

oh so long ago

 

grandma had such a
beautiful face

her smile was a wide a
mountain range

as she got older her
body gave in

but grandma

still had room for doing
some sin

she love a good joke
and the life she live she said to me

never give in

 

a old black and white
pictures

in a black and white
frame

and hung on the wall

at aunt Jane

it has pride of place

and its old space

 

grandma flew away to
the stars

if I close my eyes I
can still hear her laugh

I look at the pictures
hung on the wall

and I can see that
beautiful face smiling down on us all
