Nothing More Precious

And now for a moment of serious refection

For in matters of the heart there can be no deflection

No point in hiding behind a fool's facade

When loved ones stare behind pearly gates at God

After no doubt much struggle, grandma passed away

Feels as if I was pestering her only yesterday

Though a past, to me, shrouded in mystery

You know, to me, that's just ancient history

Grandma, you see, was a woman of care and strength

A list of such love would grow a great length

They say that death is part of life and living

I say what's more important is what you have to be giving

So don't think of loss and death on tombstone first sight

Remember her precious gift, the gift of love she left behind.
