I WILL THINK OF YOU
(Mary Peace Estes)
(October 26, 2010)
I will think of you when I open my eyes in the morning
and at night when I sleep,
I know you’ve gone to a better place
but yet...... I still weep.
I will think of you
in the middle of the day,
And how peaceful you looked
right after you’d passed away.
I will think of you when I sit at my kitchen table
and like you once did...gaze outside,
I’ll cherish & remember the times
when you were right there by my side.
I will think of you as I walk
through my bedroom door,
I’m having a hard time accepting
that you’re not here anymore.
I will think of the many times Jared
would come downstairs and say
“Grandma....are you ok?”
You always answered “Yes”
as you smiled & turned away.
You will be missed
to have known you was such a pleasure,
My memories of you
I will always treasure.
I love you Grandma
but now, I must let you fly,
When you reach Heaven
tell my mother “Carolyn said hi”.
