My Granny's Voice

A spiritually presence came to me here just the other night,

I can’t believe what my eyes are seeing, Granny that’s you staring at me right?

Oh how is grandfather, Uncle Michael, and I can’t forget about Eileen?

I’m standing here in aw because I cannot believe what I’m actually seeing.

Granny, how can this be that I can see you so open and clear?

But don’t get me wrong I won’t question a miracle I’m just so delighted that you’re here!

Granny am I the first you have seen or have you made numerous trips?

The day you had passed on I had prayed to the Lord and now it looks like he has granted my
wish!

I had prayed the Lord would allow us another day to see one another and to chat,

Thank you Dear Lord for bringing my beautiful, loving, and caring grandmother back!

Granny, we’re all hanging in there and that’s something I had wanted you to know,

And you should see your great granddaughters, Kayla and Jaynisha to see how fast they’ve
grown.

The last I heard from Tischelle and Tishausna they’re both doing good,

Along with Cherise they’ve both been holding down life like fine young ladies as we all knew
they could,

Kevin is also holding up and from his actions I’ve been utterly impress,

I’ve told him, “mon I’m always here for you if you need someone to talk to if you’re feeling
stress.”

Auntie Norma took it hard the day that you and Uncle Michael had passed,

But at your funerals we were all happy to know that you all were at rest and peace at last!

And my father is moving into the house which I believe would be on the first,

This is alittle supernatural Granny, cause my last image is of pulling your coffin out of that
white hearse.

Granny, I know you must leave soon but I so badly want you to stay,

But I know you don’t want us being selfish and wanting things our own way,

I can see your glow is starting to fade so I guess its time for you to go back to Heaven,

Can you do me a favor and hail up Tennyson for me, he’s another missed brethren!

Granny, I won’t say goodbye I rather just say that I’ll see you again soon,

And you’re always welcome back into my house this here spot could be our special room!

Again I’m stuck in a predicament on letting you go or keeping you here and I know I got to
make a choice,
But thank you again Lord for allowing me to hear my Grandma’s voice!

“A blessing has been bestowed upon me…. Amen”
