Grandma

Streaks of Silver hide what once was Gold

Grandma is aging we don’t have to be told

She once was a beautiful lady I had heard

But beauty has faded as her age it captured

Today as she sits in her old rocking chair

Her mind is on God not the color of her hair

Alone she has time to think of Heaven above

How Jesus has filled her heart full of His love

She knows that time will soon take her away

Rocking slowly she thinks of judgement day

She will again get to see the handsome man 

That was to be with her for their lifetime span

She can’t be unhappy with how life has been

Still she misses his infectious silly little grin

Thinking he has been gone over ten years

There are times it is hard to hold back tears

When she will join him she really don’t know

But if it happened today she is ready to go

To meet him in that land that is far up above

She will be once again be with her sweet love
