Little boy blue, come blow your horn
Sweet Alice, our Nanny is gone
But do not mourn
Rejoice, exalt and honor her humor, her gentle ways
The unconditional love she gave every one of her days
I’ll miss her laugh, her hugs, waiting by the door
To see her babies, her grandchildren
Once more – just once more
But Alice swims free, now unconstrained
No tears for what was, only joy remains
Nothing unsaid
Alice swims home
Into the arms of Ned, Sarah and Ted
Breaking the surface one last time.
