That Single Look ( Dear Nanny )

Dear Nanny,

When I was young, I remember being very loved by all of my family and friends;

I remember not comprehending a lot of young memories and it just blends;

People said I was a late bloomer or an imaginative daydreamer;

But when my grandmother said that she loved me;

I knew she was a keeper;

As I grew older and older;

More wiser as the years past;

I knew that every time she looked at me;

It was with that compassion that I knew would always last;

When I asked her questions about what her life was like when she was young;

It was always so interesting to hear about the things she went through;

Before everything was said and done;

She would tell me stories about the good old days;

And how she had great friends to help her along the way;

But my favorite story would have to be;

Of the day that she met my grandfather on her 16th birthday;

It was the start of something beautiful;

Something that only some are very fortunate to get in their lifetime;

It was a love that you could compare to the feeling of true happiness;

And it is a kind of love that I try to live by every single obstacle I climb;

Now that I am older and have a sense of purpose as I move forward;

I will always remember her eyes;

Looking into mine and I just feeling so honored;

For me to be her granddaughter;

For her to be my nanny;

And now as I look back at how I saw her

I just hope that she knows

That she could help me out with anything with that single cure;

That single look;

Was what I believe she had when she came into this world;

That single look;

Was what I believe made her who she was;

That single look;

Was what she had when she looked into the face of the ones she truly loved;

And that single look;

Is what she will always have on her face for the rest of eternity!

( I love you nanny and this is dedicated to you <3 )
