My Grandchildren



When I am nothing more,  than just a memory
 I hope you will remember, great times of you and me
 When I'm already gone, to a place you cannot see
 Just remember in your heart, is where I'll always be
 When the days seem long, and the nights seem cold
 In my wings it's you I hold
 In bed I sit right next to you, each and every night
 I kiss your head and hold your hand, as you turn out the light
 Everyday I pray for you, that things will be okay
 And your life is full of happiness, and love is tossed your way
 I'm your nana I'll always be, right by your side I stand
 Whenever you're in need of me, I'll grab you by the hand
 I'm your guardian angel, and I'm here for you through all
 If by chance you should slip, I'll catch you when you fall
