Grandma
gone are whispers, stares and smiles
familiar to a child
gone are the loving hands
that ballanced it to stand
gone are the arms that rapped around
and said "I love you" without a sound
soon to depart
and lower into the ground
but now before us left to stand
the legacy of a woman
who put herself in Jesus' hand
here are the memories
here are the hands
here is every story and every wisdom
passed on by man
here an example of life takes flight
subliminal messages, once ignored
take life
when discovered what is, was
and comes to life
by example she hoped that life
would be lived and lived right
