Listen To Your Grandmother
Hannah so small,
With eyes shining bright.
Are you always so happy
In the day and the night?
You are Dear, that's lovely
But are you sure you are right?
The night is for sleeping
To give day all your might.
Hannah, one of beauty,
Watching us all,
Are you taking it in
All that's said to you small?
You are Dear, that's lovely
But listen to your Gran,
Give smile after smile
And they'll all be your fan.
Hannah asleeping
Eyes shut up tight.
Are you only pretending
Or dreaming of night?
You are Dear, that's lovely
But please wake up, don't delay,
We've bought all these toys Dear
AND WE WANT TO PLAY.
