Rest in Peace Grandma

Pure heart, now a spirit, I know that you’re around

I can still hear your prayers, they still make a sound

I still hear your voice; I still feel your hug

I remember everything about you; I do miss your love.

I miss running to you and looking at your smile,

Holding your hands and talking for a while;

I remember the look upon your face,

I remember my look into your eyes …

I still need your words, I need your advice.

I know never will I find someone who is as wise…

Grand ma you were a heavenly gift, you were a prize.

You know I’ll visit a lot, and I wouldn’t stop

You know I remember you every second of my day

But please, would you come to me in my dreams tonight?

Visit me in a dream and let us laugh, talk, play and enjoy our time

Tell me my angel how wide is the sky?

Console me; tell me you’re now doing fine

Tell me it no longer hurts; tell me there is no more pain

Tell me you’re happy; tell me it’s okay

Talk to me about heaven; tell me it’s peaceful and quiet

Tell me you’re healthier now; let me see your smile

Let me see you walk and dance; let me hear your voice again

“Granny, your face is shiny, it is too bright!

God bless your soul; you’re beautifully dressed all in white”

I ask, “Where are you?” and you reply,

“Heaven my dear, this is paradise”

You’ve always been generous and so kind

You deserve so much better than this mortal life

I’ll always promise to make you proud of me, your grandchild

That grew up to be a great lady, and one of a kind.

You’ve always been my best friend, and my supporter

I’ve always looked up to you and wanted us to be alike

Your picture never goes away from my sight

You’re lingering in my heart as well as my mind

You left according to me very soon because no matter what,

I still hadn’t enough of you; I’ll always want you by my side

I pray God forgives me when I break down and cry

I just miss you, and I never wanted us to say goodbye

But I remember how much you suffered from pain

I know how much you wanted to take a break

But it breaks my heart to stand in front of your grave

Sadly sobbing and wishing to see your face

I am sorry; I know you don’t want to see my tears

I can feel you wiping them away from my cheeks

I can still feel your presence and your grace

I can hear you say “don’t grief my dear, it’s going to be alright

there’s no pain here, there’ no fright”

I understand grand ma, I know it’s time

Sleep peacefully and rest my NANA

Until we meet again in heaven’s eternal light.
