My Grandmother's Love

My Grandmother's Love

She is gone from my life
 Oh, how I miss her; it is true
 Her loving face still stays with me
 As if ever young, fresh and new

 As a child I was forever near her
 My memories filled with her tender care
 As an adult many miles were between us
 But her presence could be felt everywhere

 She left me all too suddenly
 I never thought that she could really die
 It seemed that she would be with me forever
 I never even had a chance to say goodbye

 My children grew to love her as I did
 Their memories, too, will remain vivid and clear
 Grandma, how I miss you so deeply
 Your kind and loving spirit I'll hold dear.
