A battle was fought hard today, but just could not be won
It wasnt for lack of fighting, for it was fought by everyone.
But the one who had to fight the most, just couldnt bear the pain
So she left us to go to heaven, to step into the sun, out of the rain.
She left us alot of memories, to hold forever in our hearts
And we know she'll be watching over us, even though we had to part.
Mt grandma was an excellent cook, the way we expect all grandmas to be
Whether it was her pies or biscuits, at her house she loved for us to eat.
She used to sew all day long, making clothes or quilts to give away
And I know that those who received her gifts, will remember her for them always.
Grandma loved to collect dolls, and she had to many to name
It didnt matter how old or new, she loved them all the same.
She went to church to worship God, and to hear Tom and Mark preach
She studied her Bible faithfully, until heaven was in her reach.
So today we have to say goodbye, to one who made a big difference in our lives
We'll always remember her loving heart, and try to forget her past pain and strife.
Today she got to fly away, to be with grandpa in the sky
And we know they both are watching, as we go about our lives.
Today we will start moving forward, and go on like we need to do
But there will always be a place, in our hearts grandma, just for you. This poem was written for my mom's mom when she passed away in August of 2002........ AEE
