Dear Nanny,
Pin badges gleamed on your jumper so bright,
Each one a story, a small delight.
Scarves in every shade you would wear,
A rainbow wrapped with tender care.
Knitting by the fire’s glow,
Each stitch a love only you could show.
Butterfly cakes, a sweet little treat,
Made with your hands so steady and neat.
Your word search puzzles, a daily quest,
Your iPad though always close at rest.
Nanny’s petite frame could tuck under your arm,
Her presence a treasure, her love a charm.
A string of pearls, your timeless grace,
Smartly dressed, you would light up any place.
Fish and chips? Always your call,
A simple joy, the best of all.
Breakfasts shared, mornings bright,
With you, every moment felt just right.
Your home, a haven, with orchids galore,
A treasure chest behind every door.
Watching our shows, we could see your pride.
Beaming with joy, your heart open wide.
A chauffeur ride, a touch of flair,
You carried yourself with such debonair.
Raising a glass with your giggle so sweet,
Lindt chocolate made the meal complete.
Margaret, my Nanny, so full of life,
A loving grandmother, mother, and wife.
These memories, your favorite things,
Are treasures the heart forever clings.
With every scarf we wear, each bloom we see,
We feel your love, your warmth, your memory.
