I'Ll See You Again

Nana awakened from her nap with a smile, She said ninety-five years is a whole lot of living. I shook my head and smiled as I agreed. She looked around the room, She said I’m just an old gray bear Her eyes were trained on me… No, you are just my sweet grandmother, as beautiful as can be ~ We began to walk through many life memories; She’d kicked the devils behind with one foot, And flew with one wing, still managing To knock it too its knees… Who knew, that she was preparing me to take up the mantle? A task that seemed a little hard to touch; Yet, I did it anyway and in that moment, She began to be spirited away To the golden gates of heaven To sit amongst the saints, and feast In our Lord’s brilliant presence ~ I can still see her sweet smile And hear her tender whispers till the winds… When the battle’s truly over, I’ll see you again.
