"Letter From Grandpa..." |
I got this letter from grandpa one day It came two weeks after he passed away I tore it open, this must be a joke How could this happen, It must be a hoax. It started, I'm fine Dede, just miss you I'd like to see you and the other kids too The tears started to run down my cheeks It had been awhile sinse I'd seen him, weeks. |
It read, "I saw some of your family the other day It sure was nice, passed some time away I sure miss your grandma a bunch I sure miss her sugar cookies after lunch. I miss her smile, I wish I could see her Of going to be with her, I have no fear You see, I gave my heart to Jesus awhile ago So I'm ready to be with her, anytime, you know." |
I felt so sad upon reading this letter Then I thought it through and felt much better Grandpa had thought of me, just before he passed away Knowing this made for a much brighter day. He'd mailed the letter a few days before he died When I read it I really cried It seems that grandpa wanted me to know That he'd accepted Jesus before he could go |
I still wondered why the letter came late It was postmarked with an appropriate date Grandpa tried, but something went wrong The letter had gone where it didn't belong Somehow, my aunt said, it had come back She put it away and then lost track A few weeks later she found it again She shoved it in the mail, it came to me then |
I have kept it for all of these years Sometimes when I read it, it brings tears But most of all, I feel love and contentment I am so grateful to my aunt, this letter was sent |
