Just been talking to my nana
She was quite cheery in herself
Felt nice to talk again
Although strange at the end it all seemed like a dream
Told me I would have to forget what I'd seen
So I walked away and things disappeared and strong sense of deja vu
I told her before I left though I'd think about her every day and keep her in my heart
She said I hope you do and that was the time we had to part and say adieu
Time did seem to feel a while though
In reality it flew
My nana has unfortunately not been with us in life for eight years now
Those thoughts about her to keep in my heart were certainly well and true

Green Green Grass of Home for the title as I was compelled to, both me and my nana Born in Wales and as things were disappearing the grass was a very distinct bright green hue and that's when I had the deja vu. After I titled and wrote the poem the lyrics not previously consciously aware of have the lines " Then I awake and look around me, at the four grey walls that surround me and I realize, yes, I was only dreaming." :)
