Grandmother

Oh Dear One- I see you smiling from Heaven where he took you, for all eternity. The night he came he said to me- "Beloved Granddaughter, she is now mine, you had your time... remember it always. Do not shed a tear for her or me, you see... we will now together forever be." Immortal Beloved- do you remember on that last day? Devoid of all around but you- were you listening? Did you hear, in that medicinal haze, did you hear me say "I love you, now, forever, and always before"? When I held you tight and felt you leaving, I was crushed, hardly breathing... yet I cried... All the time believing You were here for me, for us... Go Immortal Beloved- he has waited long The tear I now shed is of joy You are now where you belong... I Love You, Our memories are your song. 2nd place in the "I Dreamed" contest A. Green
