Grandmas Don't Last Forever

Published by Family Friend Poems May 2011 with permission of the Author.

My grandma, oh she was so grand.
I loved the way she'd hold my hand,
and when my troubles they did swarm,
I'd go to her; her heart was warm.

I loved the way she sang always,
but now her face is out of gaze.
I know she's in a better place,
and now she sees God face to face.

It won't be the same now that she's gone,
and I'll find it hard to carry on.
Now she's soaring high above,
she spreads her wings out like a dove.

She sways above to angel voices.
Now in heaven, she rejoices.
She's in a place with lots of care,
and I would like to see her there.

So keep your grandmas close to you,
because you know you need them too,
so make sure you spend time together.
Grandmas do not last forever.
