Here's a poem I wrote for you Gramma,
Thank you for the gift of love,
now you're sharing from it up above.
You always knew just what to say,
you always said it in a caring way.
With a kind smile, you always saw the good in everyone;
you looked past it, no matter what they've done.
Your support gave me the strength to be me,
I hope the world can see, a little bit of you in me.
You were always there for us to lean on;
I know it must have felt like a ton.
You lived your life so full of zest,
But now we must let you rest.
It’s clear your place in heaven must have a good view.
I can hear you telling God, I need to keep an eye on a few.
You will always be in my heart and mind,
because Grandma, you’re one of a kind.
We’ll have no more stories to share,
But I know you’ll always be there.
Between us there will be no goodbyes,
Because you’ll be there when I close my eyes.
Oh and Gramma, just one more thing,
I’ll see ya later and thanks for everything.
