Grandmas
Bible
Grandmas Bible lays by
my side
Its cover all tattered
and worn
As I tenderly touch it with
my hand
It seems as if Grandma were
here once again
Memories of stories read
from its pages
While sitting on her lap, my
imagination ablaze
I can almost hear her soft
and gentle voice
As tales of mighty heroes
and their wondrous deeds
She lovingly retold
And Psalms with such emotion
she would recite
As she gazed heavenward, her
eyes all aglow
I leaf through the pages of
this well-read tome
Finding little momentos left
there so many years ago
This Bible testifies of her
faith
And love of its true words
It reminds me what a
treasure my Grandma was
She stands tall in my memory
A true pillar of faith
Yet in reality she stood 4
foot 9
But every inch of her
belonged to her Lord
Through this diminutive lady
I learned of Gods love
And the importance of His
Word
Grandma has gone to reap her
reward
But she left with me her
well-worn Bible
And now it seems as if she
is saying
In this threadbare book you
will find
All the answers you need
Keep it close by your side
Use it as your guide
Inside is the worlds
greatest love story
Inside you will find the
only true path
To life everlasting
And love never ending.
