You came in just before I woke,
I saw you straight away,
“Hello Nanna, it’s you”, I said
But you didn’t look my way.
“Hello Nanna, it’s me”, I said,
as gently as I could,
and reached my arms about you
to hold you where we stood.
A marshmallow cheek so soft against mine
And your hands warm and smooth
Despite all this time.
But too soon I was stirred
by a voice sharp and quick
and you must have heard
my consciousness kick.
With eyes wide open I shut you out.
