Note: i just wrote this tonight. My grandmother died a few days ago. I haven't written in like a month or so, so this might be a bit choppy.

I saw a star shining
And I knew it was you
Heavens new angel
Watching over me
It's hard to believe you're gone
It's so surreal
You've always been there
In all my proudest moments
You were love and support
Poured into human form
I wish I could have given you
All the love you've given me
But it's too late now
I just wish I could see
You back like when I was young
Smiles and love
One more time
If there is a god or heaven
I know you're right there
Free from the pain
But away from me
It's hard knowing
I'll never see you again
Alive and smiling
All these years taken for granted in my mind
It seems unfair
But I hope you're happy wherever you are
I know you're watching me
Heavens new angel
Up in the stars

"You were love and support
Poured into human form"

Grandchildren and grandparents' love is a very unconditional thing...you will always be loved by your grandparents; they don't know how to do much else.  You see, it is the grandchild that makes them who they are...  

That the love stays in you and guides you through life...

is up to you in remembering them...

I am sorry for your loss, but something tells me, she was very happy to be your grandmother.

I am sorry for the loss of your grandmother in her physical form, but you now have an ever-present angel to protect you!--and believe me, she knows how much you love her!

This was a very loving and sweet poem and I sure she was smiling as your wrote it.

Love & Eternal Light to both you & your grandmother.

wow, shane. it brought tears to my eyes, literally. l'm sorry for your loss, and l know what it'd do to me to ever lose my grandmother, but l think the others are right - she is in a better place, even if it's not heaven... she's got a special spot inside your heart, so even if u never see her physically again, you'll always have the memories, of htat special smile, or hte way she said your name.
she'll always be there.
laurie.

Sorry for your loss..
but those we love and lose are always watching from above..
they never leave us...and just know your grandmother is smiling and very  proud of you.
~Heart-hugs~

~Somewhere in my heart I'm always
dancing with you in the summer rain~
