Grandma’s Departure
Tonight
Grandma passed away
After suffering for some time
She is no longer in difficulty nor pain
She has gone to be with Grandpa
Looking back
Grandpa was alive
Grandma fought against her illness
He was afraid
She may be gone before him
He called out to her
Not to leave before him
He was afraid his beloved
Who was frail and fragile
May leave him and go to her God
Then
Grandpa died
Left Grandma stood at his funeral
She was heart broken
Though quiet and strong
Now
They are together
Like when they were alive
Through thick and thin
Through quarrels and sorrow
Through happiness and joy
Joined rest of the deceased
Family and friends
