nana

you're with us when we're scared

and you calm us when we're mad

you know just how to cheer us up

whenever we're down and sad.



We've shared so many nenories

since the day we entered this world.

You said we were the perfect grandkids.

One of each, a baby boy and a girl.



We wish you happy birthday

In hopes that you have fun.

You're turning 17 again

and you shine brighter than the sun.



We love you more than anything

you should know that by now

Today is one day out of the year

where you can take a bow.



You don't even have to thank us.

This is the least that we can do.

You're the best nana to ever walk the earth,

and Nana, WE LOVE YOU!!!
