To My Grandson, Bryan There is a song that says I love you more than words can say That is all I can think of As I look down at you today. Lying in your crib so precious, Sweet and small And knowing that one-day You’ll be strong, proud and tall. The doctor just diagnosed you With diabetes today. I am so upset and heartbroken I don’t know what to say. Except sometimes life takes us down paths we do not understand But Nanna will always be with you Holding your hand. Perhaps not always in the physical But in a spiritual way I’ll be with you every single minute That passes in a day. You see Nanna is a diabetic And seems I passed it on to you At first all I could think of is What a horrible thing for me to do. But I can’t have any real regrets As I look down on your face Because with your Mom and you in it The world is a better place Please remember Nanna loves you And I leave you with this thought The best things in life are free….. They are never bought. Your health and someone to love you Is better than all the gold I promise this is true my darling, Not just something you’ve been told. I’m giving you this Mickey to love And tell your troubles to at night Mickey and I will always love you And help make everything all right. I love you always and forever |
