You went away yesterday
To a better place
So now here I am sitting all alone

I can see you here, there, everywhere
Footprints in my heart
Missing you with every breath that I take

Your salvation was your parting gift to me
Thank you grandma
There is so much that I want to say
So much more that I want us to do together
But because you went to a better place called eternity
I can only hold you close in my memory

So here I am saying goodbye
I cry a little
Knowing I will never see you again till the day I die
But knowing that you went to a better place
I will smile a little more everyday
Until the day I'll see you again in paradise

------------------------------------------
My grandma accepted Christ just hours before she passed away, praise God! And in my quiet time with the Lord he spoke to me these words 'My life has just begun'. It is indeed affirmation of the beginning of her eternal life with Jesus, and the end of the drought in my spiritual life.

If there cannot be equal in affection, then let the one with more be me - midnightblues
