Written when I found out my Nanny wasn’t doing well, and dealing with a lot of emotions.
I don’t know how to say, the emotions that are coursing through my mind
I may never be able to express the pain that you have had to endure
If I never understand would you ever explain your legacy to me
If we didn’t know what was on the other side of this life, it would be harder
While I am sad to see you suffer, I know the one who understands
While it’s hard for me to articulate; the many holes you will leave behind
While it may be harder to navigate my life, not having you to talk to
I know that you are in a better place, a place that accepts the humble
Brings tears to my eyes to see you suffer here on earth, may you find peace
Brings up things in my heart, I never could deal with before
I’ll always have the memories together, drinking lemonade poured over ice
I’ll always try my hardest to move forward without you, but it won’t be easy
Hard to see you suffer, here on this earth
The lives you made better, because they knew my Nanny
The lives you have touched, and the many more you helped along the way
There are things that I will cherish, because you made a lasting impact on my life
