This day I mourn the loss of one,

my grandmother who I've adored

you've given me so many memories

within this heart I've stored

(in the house on Water Street)

First the boys in their mummy bags

and that dummy that I feared too

and sitting on Harry's lap

in the kitchen with mom and you.

Rolling down the backyard hill,

and chasing fireflies at night

I also remember a frog or two

and being chased in fright

And, then there was a dog named Sue

who was old and frail I guess

that when I came to look for her

you said softly "shes been laid to rest".

Then you moved to a big farmhouse,

and along came four girls and a boy

with a great big yard, and a big barn too

and rooms filled with lots of toys

Hide and seek in the dark at night

popcorn and movies too

and kickball that we played all day long

and swimming with leeches, ewww

Thanksgiving and Christmas was my favorite time

when the house was filled with laughter

with lots of good food, sweets and treats,

and at least three kids in the tub shortly after

And when times were tough,

you were always there, through thick and thin you came through

and came to my rescue a few times too

I always felt safe with you

I am sad today, for I will miss

that which you have given me

and never imagined in my wildest dreams

that the next time is in heaven, will you I see

I thought that you were invincible,

I thought you'd never leave

and never thought the day would come,

to say goodbye and grieve.

I pray to god and all the angels above

to hold you safe and tight

for there are sooo many who are sending their love

and missing you with all their might.
