Tribute to my grandfather..

Tribute to my grandfather..

Like a comet on its yearly orbit
Memories of a dear one pays us a visit.
A star that has returned to the sky,
An inspiration to you and I.
A dear person in my life so far,
Your imprint will always stay in my heart.
Regardless of the years
We have to spend apart,
Those we love don't go away;
They walk with us each and everyday.
Unseen,unheard,but always near.
Still loved,still missed,still very dear.
Years of mourning and grief,
Did not lessen hurts nor bring relief.
But I am thankful that our lives have crossed.
And I live,knowing that I'm luckier than most,
To be able to put a face to my guardian angel..


#2;

Even though you're no longer here,
I imagine you to be.
Even though you're safe up there,
Away where I cannot see...
Every now and then I stop to think of you,
And how your grace and kindness showed
When there are bad times to go through
I may be sad,I may cry.
But I will go on living like I should.
Thank you for giving me a new lease of life
Memories would be here always.
Though months,years and countless tears,
I have understood.
My life goes on,but remember this:
I do not miss you any less,
For don't you know it's true,
That God takes only the best...


#3;

Memory wanders as shadows fall
Back to the days of happiness,
Days beyond recall.
A vision comes before me;
So calm,so dear,so sweet,
Of his lips now silent,and
Whose lids are closed in deep sleep.
So many gifts God has granted me:
The wind,the rain,the sun.
So many days with beauty,
So much joy with everyone.
So many kinds of pleasure,
So many people to treasure.
But sadly,just one you.
I think of you;your ways,
Ever so often.
I feel your presence,
But for the love that you have given to me,
I know I need not tear..

NB; It's been some three years since his passing,but I still feel the loss )):
 
Beautiful sister! It is a great sadness to part and at the same time a comfort and joy to know we will be reunited for our loved ones are not lost but safe in the arms of Christ.:)
 
Ahh..that's what worries me,he's not saved.. )= I'm not sure if he ever heard the gospel,but he wasn't a christian when he died.I highly doubt he said the Sinner's prayer..:(
 
In cases like that we simply have to trust God for them. Who knows but that God reached his heart at his last breath- I have seen it happen before.
