For Gram
If angels live in words,
I would tell you
\"Be Choosey.\" In this
wonderful world of you
you have given us
all your love, asked us
only to receive it. So
bless this silence that honors
every memory of you.
Blue eyes, easy smile
your hugs came at no cost,
your generosity with no boundaries.
You would tell us \"grieve\"
but only for a while.
Listen not with your ears,
but with your heart.
Love beyond limits
and forgive at no cost.
You would tell us family means everything.
That happiness is bottled
in cloud-less skies
and the gentle wave of a pine,
that the morning breeze is a reminder,
you are here.
You would tell us no worries-
every brick in heaven is laid
and all we need is to come home.
Loads of Love,
Kara, Barbara, Tim, Stu, Sharon, Fred, Lynda, Susan, Jason, Christian, Eric, Keeli, Rachel, Regas, Scott and Melissa
