My Light In the Darkness

The times I will forever remember, are the ones I spent with my Grandmother, she was my light in the darkness, creating warmth from the cold night emptiness... Her spirit she imprinted upon my soul, she always saw a diamond where others saw only coal... She created a safe place with fun loving care, for just the two of us to share....her cooking I still smell, making me hungry but sad as well.... Her patience with me when I was bad, never seemed to give way to her being mad... She gave me gifts that I was unaware, such as love, kindness and how to share... Her quiet guidance and easy talks , the sound of her footsteps when we went for walks, looking back at the impression she made, I can find no words to describe all that she gave... The empty void left by her love can only be healed by our Lord above... I say goodbye, feeling my heart break, for there is no other that can take her place... I have to smile even as the tears fall, for in my eyes, she was 10 feet tall... I look toward the sky, I can't help but wonder why, it hurts so much to say goodbye...My Grandmother, my friend, my childhood playmate, My Light in the Darkness has gone away, but I will remember and love her forever and a day............. Go With God For You Have Earned It....... All My Love Grandma Allen, Vickie
