Today my Gram is ninety five or would be if she still was here I wonder if she's aging still I can't seem to control my tears. My hope is that she's young again happy and healthy, full of fun cause that's the way I think of her She always held a ray of sun. It feels impossible today to miss her birthday gathering I want to bring her flowers still and tell her of the love she brings. So through my tears, here is my toast to Gram, may all your dreams come true in heavenly surroundings now Remember how much I love you.

I raise my glass to the warmth of the sun, the touch of your words, and the thoughts of your grandmother. May she always live in your memoies as you see her. |

I doubt that any other topic can touch the sincerity of a poem written to a departed loved one. You have penned an excellent one here  |

"So through my tears, here is my toast to Gram, may all your dreams come true in heavenly surroundings now Remember how much I love you."  (tears fall down my cheeks) Oh Sandra, this is sooooooo heartwrenchingly beautiful, sweet friend, I know deep down your grandma will always love you so much and will always be in your heart! (BIG HUGGGSSSSSS) My thoughts are with you, sweet friend, we all wish her a happy birthday to her up above, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sandra, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Such a beautiful sentiment put to your words and I have a feeling that all that ever made her smile is in the palm of her hands all the time including being able to read this work of yours. Very well written and expressed. |
