Nanna

• Henry Walker, Grade 4
• Poetry
• 2004

An old lady sitting in her bed but the history of her life is on her face.
She can't see too well now but her eyes have seen the times of the world and Australia.

The non modern days turning into the modern days.
Cars, computers, medicines, television, space travel.
She has seen her children from infants into their own old age.
Their children's children are now part of her life.

She can't walk so well now but her feet have played bowls, darts and danced.
Her memories are still clear, they are our memories too now.

We love our Nanna very much.

Happy 95th Birthday Nanna!
