In Memory of Grandma Alice

The day after my Grandma Alice passed away, I was up late in bed, inspired to write a poem explaining just a little bit of what she meant to me. I wrote it below to share with all of you a small glimpse of what an amazing woman of God my grandma was.

Grandma Alice

So many moments

So many memories

I'll hold close to these

To use as a remedy

Your smile in my head

Your voice in my ear

I long for a hug

And wish you were here

I think back to the summer

Which I spent with you

And now how I cherish

Our talks, smiles, and laughs too

I'm so grateful that God

allowed you to be here for me

And I look forward to the day

When you again I will see

Your strength and your courage

Your love and compassion

Praising God in everything

Was your lifelong mission

Grandma, I miss you

And love you so much

But someday in Heaven

We'll once again touch

You pushed through

And watched me dance my solo one last time

You supported me and were so proud

Of the passion that was mine

But someday, Grandma,

Together in Heaven we'll be

And there we will dance for Jesus

You and me
