My Great Grandmother...

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!!!

About the Poet
I and my wife have 4 grown children and currently live in the Pacific Northwest. I've spent much of my life doing volunteer work in the food distribution for the needy among local churches. Many of the poems I've written are a reflection of times of adversity as a reminder of God's love and faithfulness. I've found many opportunities to share my poems with those who are hurting and discouraged. I'm thankful for the reports of many of the poems touching people's lives. I hope that the poems included on Wordchimes will touch and bless your life too!
