For You Dear Grandma

For you,
Dear one,
Now gone,
Your loved ones are here.

Though far off,
Not near as far,
Your spirit shall
Linger
Forth coming in all our hearts.
A smile,
You offer
Fills the empty space
Creating life,
Once more
Where it had been,
And will always stay.

A life so cherished
No soul need deny, as
Your presence
Whole and sweet
In every sense, warms
The cold days and
Sorrowed faces.

You are every snowflake, every
Sweet breeze.
You are
Every leaf
On every tree,
Every prayer on
Every lip.
You are every smile.

There are no shadows, no darkness.
For you its only light and hope.

The sky, so blue.
The clouds, so pure.
Your face sits amongst
The ancient stars.
Others great,
Gone before you,
But none will be as missed.

Every tear will shine,
With the glory,
You lived.
Every broken heart,
Will be mended,
By sweet memories,
Of you.

Your air,
Was a graceful one,
Filled with knowledge,
And pride.
The call of you,
Your voice,
So familiar,
Still rings, in my ear.
Your words,
Ever comforting,
Ever needed.
Your heart,
Ever loving,
Will always be carried,
By us.

Life continues,
Not without you.
You are carried along,
By loved ones.
In every memory,
Every grandchild,
Every domino,
In every smile,
And every step.
You will be every heartbeat.
