GRANNY

Today is a sad day; my grandmother past. I don't think I'm as sad as I should be but I'm sad. How sad should one be, how do you know how sad you should be.

I am soooo sad inside, I didn't know her but I did. We are all connected thru our writing, thru our posts, thru our laughter, our jokes, our disses, and our comaraderie. I can't believe this, Granny is gone.


AS I SIT AND GAZE UPON THE SKY
MY THOUGHTS SLIP BACK IN TIME,
OF THE BEAUTY THAT GOD GAVE HER
FULL OF SPLENDOUR SO DIVINE.


I WATCH A MERMAID SWIMMING ALONG
SO PEACEFUL NOT A SOUND.
I LISTEN TO THE HUMMING BIRDS SINGING
WITH NO ONE BUT MOMMIE AROUND.


ALL AROUND YOU CAN SEE IT
AND FEEL SUCH LOVE AND PEACE
THAT WAS DESIGNED BY GOD HIMSELF
A BEAUTY TO NEVER CEASE.


A BUTTERFLY FLUTTERS CLOSE TO ME
WITH A BOUNTY OF COLOURS GALORE,
LANDING GENTLY ON A FLOWER
LIKE SO MANY TIMES BEFORE.



BUT THIS TIME THE BEAUTY TRULY AMAZES ME
THE FLOWERS AND THE TREES.
THE WIND IS SOFTLY BLOWING
WITH SUCH A GENTLE BREEZE.


THANK YOU GOD FOR HER BEAUTY
THAT YOU OFFERED US FOR ONLY A LITTLE WHILE.
MAY WE ALWAYS BE REMINDED LORD
THAT NOW YOU ARE LOOKING AT HER SMILE.

REST IN PEACE GRANNY I LOVE YOU
