Words From Grandma

 I've been so busy, but I see you
I catch glimpses when I have time to
In life, I know how hard you try
and noone is prouder than I
You've grown so lively and becoming
wonders for you are still forthcoming
It's only a short time til you see my face
only a little while til we again embrace
it's not long before soon
we'll be in the same room
I can't wait to have a heart-to-heart
and catch up on what I've missed since we've been apart
It's not long after soon, but it's in some time
You've still some mountains to climb
just remember all of us at home are rooting for you
and at difficult times please see the grander view
we'll help as much as we are able
until we again feast at the same table
I can't wait til you are here at last
back in your home from the past
I'll walk you up the trail
that leads to our home beyond the veil
