Premium MemberHEAVEN'S SCENT


My candle was always burning at both ends,
It'll be snuffed out by mornings light,
Where its warmth and fragrance went,
That is where I'll soon be sent.

My angel will descend,
Grandma I'll see you soon, 
I'll walk through God's front door, 
Smell your fragrance and feel the warmth.

God will hold me very close,
He'll wipe away all my tears,
I'll never feel this pain again,
And my angel wings will grow.


Premium MemberThe Last Time

The last time I saw my grandma 
She brought me gorgeous red material for a new blouse.

She always knew what to bring.
She did not come often, but when she did, we were happy.

She was my grandma, and I adored her.
I would have given her a lot more attention that day,

If I had known it was the last time I would see her,
And a much longer hug.

I probably would not have left her side,
Actually.

ONE, NINE AND SIXTEEN

The sewing machine, long idle, gathered dust
For Grandma, this machine was a must
She would work long into the night
Making sure each stitch turned out right

The clothes she made, we were proud to wear
Not ashamed to be seen anywhere
Then one day, tragedy struck from afar
And many of our men marched off to war

The war years seemed like only yesterday
Countless lives were lost along the way
The lives that kept America free
From peril of those across the sea

Then one day, tragedy struck again
Grandma died  ....  our closest friend
Gone from us, the brightest spark
The candle sputtered, spent, and all was dark
