Grandma of mine

Oh grandma of mine,
You were a beautiful lady,
Oh grandma of mine.

You were blessed with four children,
three girls and one boy,
Years later the lord
took back your very first joy.

Your children produced
18 grand kids to love.
you put us on pedestals
high up above.

You made each of us feel
like we were so special,
no matter what we did
Your love was unconditional.

You were always so full
of hugs and kisses
even with all of us together,
there were never any misses.

Throughout your life
you were a special lady,
you were always there
when someone had a baby.

In your later years
you were in so much pain,
you knew if you stayed here
there was something to gain.

Our gain was the love
and the joy that you shared,
you gave of yourself
till there was no more to spare.

When you arrived at the hospital
we were all so worried,
we called everyone home
and they all really hurried.

We thought we had lost you
and didn't know what to do,
then on monday afternoon
you looked all anew.

The next couple of days
you were in so much pain,
none of us knew
if you were going to remain.

The next sunday your body
could take little more,
you decided it was time
to open a new door.

You told us you loved us
and you told us goodbye,
you were ready to go,
you're the only one who didn't cry.

As we surrounded your bed
and told you to go,
we saw a sweet smile
and we knew it was so.

You met with the angels,
they took you away,
now we gather here
on this very sad day,
to remember our grandma
who has just passed away.

Your pain is all gone
and for that we are thankful,
we know that your happy
and for that we are grateful.

Your body's all healed
and you have work to do,
when it's our time to go
we know we'll see you.

Oh grandma of mine
oh grandma of mine,
you're now a beautiful angel
oh grandma of mine.

Grandma died due to complications caused by diabetes.
