Dear Beloved Grandma

by Teresa Lynn   Jan 24, 2006


Your hands so soft
your voice so sweet
your eyes so full of joy

you were my favorite the only one
i loved you more than a thousand ton
never a time when you lot me down
always wearing a smile not a frown

a winter day in January
with little snow on the ground
it was an early morning
on a Saturday

we both got a call
with different destinations
i received mine around eleven
and found out you were going to heaven

sooner than me
you knew where you'd be
in a place you never saw
standing right there next to grandpa

while you're up there
I'm down here
while the soft music plays
i shed one tear

seeing you there
laying so still
i suddenly get a deep chill

never seen a prettier blue
than the color i saw on you

here it is another day
one last time
i see you lay

looking down at the ground
it's grandpa's grave
and now your home bound

i walk away in silence
knowing you are safe
turn wound to get one last look
and think of all it took

i picture you walking
through the gates
finally you see him
grandpa waits

now once again
as he did before
gets to have you back

but as much as i know
i have some ways to fall
back into the arms of
my beloved grandma
