Nanny, I didnt get a chance To tell you my goodbye. God took you very suddenly Sadly, I dont know why. I thought of you with love today, But that is nothing new. I thought about you yesterday, And days before that too. I think of you in silence, I often speak your name. All I have are memories, And your picture in a frame. Your memory is my keepsake, With which Ill never part. God has you in his keeping, I have you in my heart. I love you Nanny. Littleman.
