STRANGE BUT TRUE (Work Completed)
Strange but true is this accountNow you know of how got my name
Kenneth
That were the name of Granny Rose
First born child - who died
Age eighteen months of
As I've covered previously
One early morning I were a kid age 13
Laying a sleep when I were woken up
The morning light & summer warmth
Filled my bedroom & the family house & home
By a voice calling my name - '' Kenny ''
I answered - calling out my family
Mum - dad - my sisters Kathy & Anne
No reply
I lay there in my bed - puzzled
Later when we all were awake
Getting ready fore our day
Over breakfast I them all
Who had called out my name?
None had they all said the same
I were in a puzzled state of mind
Later that day I saw my Granny Rose
Who lived at Number nine just down the road
We my family & I lived at number nineteen
Granny & got to talking as we some times did
As long her so & so of ' husband ' Charlie were out
Of ear shot - they were marred - he was a right so & so!
In conversation we confided into each other
Our experiences of that early morning
Granny Rose told me of how she was laying in bed
Charley bed were downstairs - had been so the arrangement
Fore years
Anyway back to our conversation Granny Rose & me
Granny Rose woke up with a start
Granny Rose said she could the sound of foot steps coming up the stairs
Granny Rose as you are be thinking - those steps were not Charley's
But Charlie had not walked up the stairs in - years!
Granny, continued - I did not interrupt - I let her continue her account
I'd not mentioned my experience of that early morning
Granny Rose - heard a hand on the doorknob - it turned
Granny felt no fear - just puzzled is all
The bedroom door slowly opened
In walked her first born son
Granny recognized the man strait away!
He were her first born - as like he would
Of been if he had lived into adulthood
Granny on impulse called out ; '' Kenny ''
He said ; '' good morning mum '' ; '' made you a cup of tea, mum ''
He put it down on the bedside table - kissed on her forehead - smiled
The departed quietly closing the bedroom door with out a sound
Leaving Granny to enjoy her cup of tea - Granny after drinking the tea
Went back to sleep - happy - with out any fear of what had just happonde
When Granny woke up later - beside her was the empty teacup
Granny got up dressed & got about her day - saying nothing to Charlie
A week later Granny Rose passed away - died
As the reader can imagine you by now knowing me by reading my works
That I have a questioning kind of mind!
I were keen on knowing the ins & outs - why fores - reasons fore Granny Rose & My experiences of that early morning - and what happonde to Granny Rose
I read & talked to people who know of such experiences
So to I could have some kind of understanding
And so I did - kind of that is - leaving my mind with questans that needed answers
You see those who have a connection - share - with their minds
Some one who has already passed on appears to prepare some ones who's
Time is going to end appears
Mine being with the name of Granny's Rose first born name - Kenneth - Kenny
When he paid a visit to his mother - his mum - she called out - '' Kenny! ''
He had come to prepare her fore his mum's - passing away
This a true account of the events we both had that early dawn morning
I maybe I should say - we - hope that you appreciated our story - our account
Of the events of that breaking dawn morning
