Journey of Hearts

On May 18th my most cherished friend in the world passed away--my Grandmother, Elizabeth. All my life she was there for me unconditionally, and her final years were sad and torturously confusing for her, she suffered from dementia. I searched and searched for a poem to suit her passing, but couldn't find any. Then my girlfriend brought me a beautiful gift, it was mywords and thoughts she had sculpted into a poem for me.
I would like to share that gift with anyone who would like it.

Since I've known you,
I've respected you,
Since I've respected you,
I've loved you.

Because you are gone,
I will now love your spirit.
Your voice speaking to me as a child,
forever rings through my soul.

Seeing you so tired, I asked you to go.
I never thought you would listen to me.
You always had a mind of your own,
but now I am happy because you are at peace.

It makes my heart soar to think
you could be dancing with grandpa,
dancing in the stars.

Thank you grandma for caring for me.
Thank you grandma for listening to me.
I will cherish you forever,
and you will always live in me.
 

One of my favorite quotes that comes to mind:

Those who live in the hearts of others....
 
Never die.
