In Memory of My Grandmother

Your love knows no boundaries
you were my cherished friend
your love compensated for your lack of pounds
your steadfast faith in me would never bend.

You sang to me in prayer
and talked to me in song
without you, my love would have been bare
in your opinion my views were never wrong.

You are at home in the sky
but your death remains a mystery…
I always ask why?
Why was this your destiny?

You probably though your death was soon to arrive
but, damnit, it still was not fair!
Why didn’t God strive
too see you handled with care?

I will never understand
why it was you Death chose to take
Why it was, with his hand
your life he decided to break?

You're eyes were happy, brimming with joy
and you were always brave
your sacred rosary was never a toy~
all of your pictures I still save.

The tears still come to my eye
When I think of you every day
I try not to cry…
but it happens anyway.
