Our Little World

You were my Nana, and I always loved you.

Mum went to see you Saturday afternoon,
Not knowing heartbreak would be waiting in that room.
I still replay that Friday, how alright you seemed—
If I’d known it was our last, I’d have held on to the scene.

Out of all the grandchildren, we had our own small world,
Your Nana’s love, your girl—one bond no hurt could undo.
I wasn’t always good at saying what I felt,
But distance never meant my love had left.

Dear God, let Nana know I loved her through it all;
Please hold my mother, hold us when the tears fall.
Forgive the words I never said, the days I can’t reclaim;
Help me keep the love, not only carry blame.

August 8, 2026—I’m sorry we didn’t get more time.
You were my granny, I was your girl; I’ll love you beyond goodbye.
