Gramma's Letter

 

You couldn’t have picked a better time
To send me off a letter
I was sitting here all alone
And really under the weather

I guess the good Lord knew
Just what I had to hear
So again I want to thank you
For sending me a letter, Dear.

Grandma's getting older
And can’t get around as much
Her memory’s seem to fool her
Guess, I’ve lost my touch

The rocking chair's now my favorite
Place where I reminisce
And grandma thinks you’re precious dear
For a special thing like this

Such that you’ve been sharing
Has brought me up to date
It’s nice to see what’s been happening
To you as of late

Grandma needs to hear it
Brings music to her soul
For you grandchild I pray daily
And how I love you so.

Keep those letters coming
I look so forward to
It gives to your dear grandma
A real sense of you.

My rocking chair’s facing
The window where I can see
The mailman coming with your letter
The ones that comfort me.

About the Poet
I came to know the Lord as my personal Saviour in January of 1972. I was married on Oct 21,1966 to my wife Linda who also loves the Lord. We have ten children and now twenty-four grand children. In Aug 2012 we got the announcement of the birth of our first GREAT grand child (a baby girl). I was thrilled to find others of like precious faith and belief in Jesus Christ. Hallelujah! What a Savior! I am presently living in Champion, Alberta, Canada but we are originally from Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, Canada. That is where the poem Canadian Tribute to America was birthed. One Sunday as I walked across the city on my way to church I came to the top of a hill and looked across at Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. After watching the events of the Sept 11 tragedy it was weighing on my heart and mind and the Lord gave me these words. We came to Calgary and when my oldest daughter saw this poem she said, �Dad, what�s this?� and I said a poem and she replied �Dad, that�s not a poem , that�s a song� and she then went to the piano and began to sing and play it. The result of which turned into a song entitled, A Canadian Tribute to America which she recorded on CD. garyjamessmith2005@yahoo.ca
