A Love So Rare

Tears formed in my Grandmas eyes In her chair, in her room, when Grandpa died I knelt down beside her, Pa in the bed Without one word she bowed her grey head I took her soft hands and began to pray Hallelujah to the Father Pa’s home to stay Fly with the angels my Grandpa my friend My partner my buddy who loved to no end Comfort my Grandma while she’s all alone Be with her Lord until she comes home With tears in my eyes at this prayers end I kissed her sweet head and prayed amen Her hands were cold her face was pale Her shirt was soaked and the air was stale I laid her by Pa and sat in the chair Together forever is a love so rare
