In a sea long ago I lost my guiding light,
My focus blurred as in the dead of night.
How can time have so quickly passed?
Like alabaster sand racing through an hourglass.
Half my life now lived without her laughing eyes,
Her soft embrace, and her warm smile.
To turn back time is all I desire,
A child's dream with a woman's fire.
I still weep for the grandmother my children never knew.
She is forever with me each day and night through.
