You have left this world, <br />But not our minds. <br />Nor our hearts <br />Where we can find <br />Sanctuary <br />In our memories. <br />From days when <br />I could see <br />Happiness when <br />You’re with me. <br /> <br />Now, on this earth, <br />I find <br />I wont see you <br />outside my mind. <br />Yet I carry on <br />Your legacy. <br />And let live <br />Your will to be. <br /> <br />A soul so pure <br />On this imperfect Earth <br />Found Heaven the cure <br />To escape the worst. <br /> <br />But you’re not gone, <br />We feel you watching <br />From above, <br />And while things are tough, <br />We do what we can <br />For you and each other. <br /> <br />My eternally beloved <br />Grandmother. <br />You’re not gone. <br />You’ll never truly leave. <br />You’re not gone. <br /> <br /> In memory of Grandma Terry. <br /> I love you. We all do.<br /><br />David N. Degnan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/special-dedications/
