Alongside the original poem I wrote processing the changes with my Grandma, there were also changes for my Grandpa. I wrote the first part of the poem a number of years ago, while the second part is new today.
I see you there
Saying good-bye
The love of your life
No longer here
You try to be strong
To stand on your own
To keep it together
Your pain not exposed
Stand at her final place
Saying good-bye
We all stand together
To laugh and to cry
Disease stole her body
And then stole her mind
Yet you held on
Loving her deeply
Time still moves on
Though loss seems too great
The hole that she left us
Can never be filled
But in this we hope
She’s now with our Savior
Who loves her the most
Fully healed and restored
