Alannah

My grandaughter Alannah aged 12 was unwell and couldn't go to school today so she came to spend the day with me so I could look after her. I have taken a photograph of her self portrait which she drew today.

My Granddaughter

A granddaughter is like a special book
For a person of some age
Like reading a beautiful story
Each time we turn the page

There's mystery and excitement
As the story begins to unfold
Sometimes laughter, sometimes tears
Then joy, as the story is told

You bring back special memories ...
Times I lovingly recall
All the happy times we had
When your Dad was very small

But above all this, there is a peace
And a deep contentment within
Knowing that a part of me
Will go on without an end

I just want to let you know
How much you mean to me
I know that I am truly blessed
With a special family

Love,
Gran
