Granny
Granny went away today, I know not where.
And they say I’ll not see her, but still she’s there.
Granny went away today, and the grown-ups tiptoe so.
They talk in whispers; quiet voices saying let her go.

I don’t understand and I don’t see why,
But Granny went away today and I didn’t say bye.
I’ll be good! I won’t stamp my feet or shout.
Just let me in, don’t shut me out.
I’ll behave – let me see her once more.
Let her walk back in, in through the door.

Granny went away, without a cuddle, without a hug.
But her plate’s still there and so’s her mug.
Let me have just one more giggle, one more kiss.
Of all the people gone away, it’s you I’ll miss.
