Though death has taken them away from her, they are still living in her heart. Sarah S also goes on to suggest that we should remember the dead for their good work and deeds and not just grieve for them. Keeping our loved ones in our heart is the best way possible to pay homage to them. With this poem, explore the deep felt emotions and feelings of every grand daughter for her grandparents.
With Love, Nan and Grandpa
As I lie here in my sanctuary,
2 cats upon my knee,
With little bugs beneath me,
I whisper the name of thee.
Dark is fast approaching,
So I clench my hands and pray to see,
Tucked inside a giant wing,
I whisper the name of thee.
Pictures begin to show,
Memories begin to unravel,
It is you I see, from head to toe,
Just as if you did not go
Now that the light begins the fade,
And the journey has been spent,
I know I can awaken safe and sound,
As my love has just been sent.
