My Grandpa died a few years before I was born in 1975, and he was very close to my Mom - Laura, and I have always wondered if he's looking down on me from Heaven. And If he had the chance to speak to me as an angel, what would he say and how would he feel to have me as his grandchild? My Grandpa was an artist and so that is why "I'll paint you a picture of happiness" is in my poem to honour his talent ~A LETTER FROM HEAVEN~ Dear Grand Daughter, you will never see my face or know the warmth of my embrace, for, I have already left this earth just mere years before your birth But, Melissa Phyllis, please remember this although upon your sweet cheek, you'll never feel my kiss, you have a guardian angel in Heaven above who's looking down on you with pride and much love It's true that you'll never be with me to hear all the wisdoms that I'd whisper in your ear, but, know that my Laurie Dorie will take good care of you and tell you all the stories of your Grandpa to see you through Someday, you'll grow to be a woman, fall in love and achieve much you'll know that I live on through your children's touch I'll paint you a picture of happiness from a cloud's single tear to guide you through life, to sweep away any fear And so, when years upon your face are worn and you have a grandchild to be born, only then, my Melissa, will you begin to know the joy that I feel within I love you, Grandpappy Wilf *By Melissa Honeybee* The beauty of poetry gives my soul wings to fly free within dreams |

Not only did you write a tribute to your Grandfather, but one also to the people who raised you. This was beautiful! [This message has been edited by inot2B (edited 01-10-2001).] |
