Loving Thoughts of Grandma
***************************

From a tiny child in your arms
you loved us from day one.
You held us close and kissed us
and filled our lives with fun.

You were there to pick us up
when we'd fallen down...
to wipe our tears, calm our fears
and take away the frowns.

The love and the compassion
of your heart so freely flowed.
You made "living love" seem easy
...OH...the "seeds of life" you sowed.

You fought for what you believed in
and you never made a sound.
When the storms of life were raging
before our Lord you'd bow.

Christ's love and His forgiveness
were the things you'd often preach.
Not with words these things were said,
but by actions you would teach.

Your laughter would illuminate
even the darkest room.
And fill us with the sense of peace
when our would seemed full of gloom.

You loved all creatures great and small
and taught us to do the same.
You taught of joy in "simple things"
such as whippoorwills and rain.

Your loving arms were always there
to welcome all to your home.
You'd greet us with your tender smile
then through the house we'd roam.

I bet you did not realize
the countless souls that you would reach.
Your love and life has shown us
the kind of lives that we should lead.

And it's those of us that know your best
that will forever call your name.
So listen for thoughts or shouts of love
for Grandma, Mom or "Babe".

Dedicated in loving memory to my Grandma, Mary Alice.  May she rest in peace!
