She was my guiding light in times of darkness,
My rock when I was devoid of strength,
Wisdom when I had no clue what to do.
Understanding when I performed the unexpected
Encouragement when fear reared its ugly head.
I miss the sound of her laughter,
And the love that poured from her lips
with each word she spoke.
She lived a life full of God's unconditional love.
An angel, my angel, here on earth.
I miss the touch of her still baby-soft skin
That 94 years on this earth did not weather
I miss asking her what she needed
Because I certainly needed her caring words
To guide me, lift me, and carry me through my day.
It has been a little while now
Since she has gone to meet the Creator,
The One who allowed me to have her in my life
And Who allowed her to nurture me
To become the person you see now.
I feel bittersweet sorrow
Knowing she is free and no longer in pain
And is reunited with God, as she is so entitled.
The memories of her make me smile,
but the pain I feel is everlasting.
My tears flow and my heart aches
Because I can no longer see her face.
Just know that when all is said and done
She was, is, and will forever be
My Heart's Song.
In Loving Memory of
My Grandmother
