For Nanny and Papa

This Beautiful Lady

I look into her eyes and see
All the love she has for me
As the seasons come and go
Her hair has turned as white as snow
Soft wrinkles now embrace her face
There is beauty in every line
The hand that use to guide me
Gently shakes when held in mine
Now I take her by the arm
When we go for walks
Oh, How she loves to reminisce
When we have our talks
Someday I hope my grandchildren
Love me as I do her
This beautiful lady I'm talking about
Is my amazing grandmother

The Glitter of PaPa

His eyes had a glitter
His smile was so sweet
When you were around him
It was the greatest treat
Just sitting on his lap
Or holding his gentle hand
Looking at the face of this wonderful man
Today I'm going to see him
I'm walking down the hall
Knowing the nursing home
Has made their final call
I sit down beside him
His hand in mine so tight
Knowing he is leaving
He has given up the fight
I will always remember the glitter of Papa
The smile upon his face
Now I look upon him, of breath there is no trace
As I hold him one last time
Putting a final kiss upon his dampen brow
I whisper so quietly...
"Papa, you have your angel wings now"
