I remember you snitching on me

When I was chasing the chickens for play

Then Grand Mom would tell me to stop

You'd keep watching me anyway.


I never remembered when you could walk

You were already stuck in bed

Gangrene already had you then

I can still here your voice in my head.


I know you were lonely too

Guess that's why you'd talk to me

Not many adults ever bothered

Guess they wished they didn't see.


You were never mean to me

That came as a surprise

You would talk as if you cared

That still brings a tear to my eyes.


I was so young when you went away

Still, I'm glad I got to remember you

Those memories are with me still

In all I say and do.


Oh, the time I was there with you

Grand Mom and your wife

These are the most precious memories

Of my childhood I have in my life.
