GRANDMA'S TREASURES

GRANDMA'S TREASURES

Grandma left me treasures on earth
A loving heart and soul thru and thru.
She left me her spirit to help me fight.
To stand up for what I believe is true.
~~~*~~~
She knew about my love for poetry
And even shared a poem of her's with me.
She also knew of my love for jewelry.
But not diamonds and gold!
~~~~*~~~~
Grandma is my guardian angel now.
With Grandpa by her side
I wish I had more time with her
while on earth she was alive.
~~~*~~~
But Grandma is in my heart
And Grandma can speak thru my dreams.
She'll never really know what joy
Those little treasures she left us brings.
~~~~*~~~~
I know that Grandma was an earth angel
that’s why God kept her on earth so long.
Even though he needed her there.
She also saved souls on the ground.
~~~*~~~
Grandma's love was for all to share.
Not to be kept inside.
I will always remember my Grandma
Doing the twist with her long red hair.
~~*~~
Laughing and giving a wink,
Yelling at Grandpa for pinching her
as he passed her by.
Sitting and yarning an afghan
~~*~~
Reading a good love story
taking those walks to the store
Making her neighbors family.
Yes, my grandma loved everybody.
~~~*~~~
Grandma’s treasures are in Heaven now.
She has done her time on this earth.
She watches over all her G'Children
and protects each new birth.
~~*~~
We will always cherish you G'MA.
~~*~~
Watch over us all now and keep us safe.
