Grandpa is Coming for Grandma Grandpa is coming for Grandma We all know it…we all feel it Just as the sun can be felt through a window pane Grandpa’s presence comes here time and time again Day by day he comes And he lingers by her side He waits for death to claim her When heartbeat and breath subside Grandpa sees her fight the battle We all know she just can’t win And tells her to be brave and strong She’ll soon be with him again He gently takes her hand in his The softest of touches he makes Grandpa’s spirit gently caresses her skin When he touches his sweetheart’s face And on occasion Grandma feels him now How wonderful it seems! A moment’s rest through this battle stage Like a sweet and beautiful dream And for one brief moment she forgets her pain And feels much like a young, new bride She yearns to see Grandpa’s face again To never leave his side So while we wait through days and hours Till the dreaded goodbye must come Grandpa waits with growing excitement He’s been without her far too long Grandpa understands the sorrow we feel For we also once mourned him in grief He stands by our side to lend us support And hopes we’ll find comfort and peace He wants us to know that he is okay And Grandma will soon be too Death’s separation didn’t diminish their love Through years of longing…it only grew ALT. VERSE Through deepest longing…it only grew And so with each breath as we see Grandma Lose her grasp on this life she’s known She’s moving closer towards Grandpa For he’s come to take her home… _ And when that final, sacred moment came Grandma slipped just beyond our grasp And Grandpa embraced her with open arms Welcoming her home at last So for all in th’hereafter we don’t understand Yet someday hope to know We are certain Grandma is safe and well For Grandpa came and carried her home Copyright © 2012 Poems And Reflections LLC.
