Heaven Was Needing a Grandma

[Twyrch]

This poem is written for my grandma. She hasn't died yet, but she is knocking on death's door. It would be weeks or months... no one really knows, but I have written this poem for my grandma and I will recite it at her funeral once she has crossed over. I wanted to share it with all of you as well.

HEAVEN WAS NEEDING A GRANDMA

I came by today to see you
I just had to let you know
If I'd known the last time I hugged you
Was the last time I'd have seen you
I'd have hugged you and never let go

I remember as a child when I saw you
How you held your head up high
My spirit soured when I saw
How you're smile lit up the sky

It's kept me awake nights wondering
I've prayed to God just asking why
I've always known you won't be called home
Until God says it's your time

You're such a part of who I am
And now that part of me is gone
No matter how much I need you now
God must have needed you more

Because Heaven was needing a grandma
A grandmother just like you
Brave enough to stand up
For what you believe
And follow it through

When I try to have it make sense in my mind
The only conclusion I come to
Is that Heaven was needing a grandma
Like you
