She Was Faithful

All she learned about was
what she thought you wanted
Was tried and applied.
Even yet, you wanted her to
change direction, and to question…
As to know the true way, she held on faithfully,
to what she thought she ought.
She showed love the way she was taught.
This was her learned truth; Was what she knew!
Without question or discernment
She proceeded on through life’s journey in faith.
Aiming totally to please you in all her ways.
Asking forgiveness, for all sins, and for the lies, she lived.
Grandmothers and mothers don't tell lies per-say,
they only lived, what they were taught without questioning. 
So, at their life’s end: She had hoped to meet you. 
Because she had been so faithful; 
As she waited for the eternal blessing.
