When I was young, arrogant & brave. You stood by me always with an encouraging way When I was older, bullish & loud. You still found something in me, of which to be proud. With a wife & children, came less time. You made this family, as much yours, as mine. Christmas & Birthdays, a card you always sent. Time & company, with you, not enough spent. Nan, now that you are gone, & that must be. Please remember, I love you, as much as you loved me.
