My Great Grandmother...

I remember long ago visiting

 my great-grandmother...

How I loved her cooking...

“'twas sweeter than butter.”

As I spoke with her,

 there was a sparkle in her eyes.

She loved Jesus... Was gentle

 and very wise...

I could almost feel the love

 she had for great-grandfather.

Their love was as pure

 as the purest water.

Their commitment to each other

 and God was plain to see...

I could almost feel their love

 come all over me!

That day when my

great-grandmother died.

At 13, I laid in my bed

with sorrow and cried.

I know that one day... In heaven...

 We'll meet again...

How the words of excitement

 shall begin!

May my life be an example

of my great-grandmother.

One of trusting God and being

 kind one to another.

Thank you great-grandmother

 for the love I seen in you.

You were a Godly inspiration...

And I thank HIM for YOU!!!
