Grandma’s Home
You use to tell me,
“Someday I will die,
but don’t be sad, don’t cry for me”
“I’ll walk with Jesus on streets of Gold.
Where I’ll never again be sick or old”
So when I think of you as I often will,
I’ll remember your spirit is with me still.
You’re happy and healthy and free to roam
In the kingdom of Heaven,
You’re finally home.
Love you Me Ma
Teresa
