Grandma Ruth
I have a grandmother and she's ninety one
Despite her old age she's loads of fun
Talking for hours about things that she did
Over the years when she was a kid
She'd ask ,"Where is my husband, why isn't he here."
And she'd look down at me and down came a tear
"He's waiting for you on the other side of the river" I'd say
"God let her meet him on the other side." I'd pray
The time came where I had to say goodbye
But Gramma missed him...and so do I
I know she wanted to see him after this life
Reunited with him; his beautiful wife
I have the heart to stand up and tell the truth
I miss my dear old Gramma Ruth
Driving to the garden the day she died
to pick daisies and roses to place by her side
