Grandma, My Angel in Heaven

I have got a plastic bag full of her jewelry

And her memories in my head

Her smile still warms my soul

And I treasure everything she said

An angel of grace and mercy

I know I will someday be by her side

I dream of her there to greet me

And welcome me inside

 

And she says…

              “Hello Joey, I have been waiting for you so long

But the angels have kept me company

And they have taught me a new song

They have shown me so many wonders

And I have saved everyone for you

So dry your eyes and hold my hand

Because we have so much to do…”

 

Then I hug her for a century

Because in heaven time is a funny thing

Then she takes my hand, we begin to fly

And I hear the angels sing

 

I can’t understand what their saying

But, grandma knows and she starts to smile

she says in time I will understand them

and asks me to be patient for a while

 

Then I realize that we have forever

And that the rest of the family will be here soon

And then we’ll all laugh together

As we share everyday from now until then on the other side of the moon.

         I can hardly wait....

                              I love you Grandma!
