For my grandma...who died yesterday

[*SWeeT-e*]

...and who I truly loved with all my heart...

[See my journal]


~For Nan~


If I had wings, I’d give them to you
So that you may fly away
Free from tears, pain and fears
Even though I must stay

If I could, I’d give all my strength
Just to see you smile
But since I can’t, I give my hand
So you may hold it for awhile

And when you know it’s time to go
I will understand
I’ll stroke your hair and kiss your cheek
And give you back your hand

I will not be afraid
Though I can’t promise I won’t cry
But I will let you go at last
And whisper to you ‘good-bye’

I will not think of you this way
But of how you used to be
A loving, strong and beautiful lady
With so much dignity

I’ll think you each day to come
And celebrate all the joys we’ve shared
I’ll remember all you’ve taught me
And how very much you cared

I’ll do my best to make you proud
In everything I do
I’ll treasure your memory every day
And to it, I will be true

So though your heart may cease to beat
Your spirit will be never gone
For I will hold you close in my heart
And my love for you will live on


~Your loving granddaughter, Kim~
