A dedication to my Grandma

Though we’re here to say goodbye
In our hearts you’ll always lie
And while we find it hard to let you go
In a better place you are, we know

You saw the beauty in every day life
It helped you through times of sorrow and strife
In your life, you fought the good fight
You fought that fight with all your might

You always took care of everyone else
As easily as taking a pulse
You never let go of being a nurse
Taking care of friends and family, for better or worse

Then it became time for us to take care of you
We did the best that we could do
Then God called you home to His eternal bliss
We said goodbye with a hug and a kiss

Finally reunited with your true love
We know that you watch down on us from above
We know you’ll be watching us every day
For you’ve joined the angels so faraway

Though you’re not near, you’re still around
With us in thoughts and sound
Whether through song or the sight of a flower
We know you’re near, in the peace of a rain shower

When times get bad and we’re filled with fear
We know you’ll make it better with an angel’s whisper in our ear
Helping us through the good times and the bad
Knowing you don’t want us to be sad

You’ve become our angel to adore
Waiting for us on God’s golden shore
Grandpa met you at heaven’s door
And told you “My dear, your suffering is no more.”

So, while we miss you so
We knew it was your time to go
As you sit in heaven’s splendor
You’re still our great defender

With a tear we say good-bye
We look for you now in the sky
And while our lives won’t be the same
We will forever carry your flame

Watch down on us Grandma
From heaven above
We will miss you forever
As we say good-bye with our undying love
