When We Think Of You

When I seen that this weeks Spin Cycle at Sprite's Keeper, was on creative writing, I was excited and all prepared to write a story but life has brought many interruptions since my friend passed away. My eldest granddaughter is here from Florida, until Sunday, so I have been spending as much time as possible with her. In helping her to grieve the loss of her other grandma and at the same time, find joy in remembering all the wonderful things about her, I thought I would have her write a poem with me, for this weeks creative writing spin. We dedicate this post to her.

This is for you grandma. I love you and this is good-bye for now.

Grandma, When We Think Of You

When we think of you, we think of the many things…
…that made our hearts sing.

When we think of you, we think of the beauty of your heart…
…and your mind that was so very smart.

When we think of you, we think of your strength and how much you fought…
…and how you were the one that other people sought.

When we think of you, we think of how you never gave in…
…and stopped living your life so this illness could win.

When we think of you, we think of how you never said an unkind word…
…your words of love we always heard.

When we think of you, we think of all the support you gave…
…so that other’s could be brave.

When we think of you, we think of the sound of your voice and the smile on your face…
…the memory of these, time will not erase.

When we think of you, we think of your hug and kiss…
…they are something we will always miss.

When we think of you, we are thankful that the pain has past…
…because you are with Jesus and free at last.
