I remember when I was
Just a little girl,
Ithought you were the
Best person in the world.

When I cried, you were first
To offer your shoulder,
You still do even though
I’m growing older.

This year I’ve never wanted
Your shoulder more,
Three deaths were enough
Now it seems like I’m heading for four.

I used to spend all
My weekends with you,
Those were some of my
best times, it’s true.

Now, as you lay there
In your hospital bed,
Too many tears from
My eyes are shed.

It feels like I’m destined
To watch those around me fall
I’d do anything to stop it,
I’d do anything at all.

Gran, you’ve got to pull through
You’re getting weaker I know,
I can’t face one more funeral this year.
I’m begging you, please don’t go.
