A Grandma's Love
It was all so perfect when I found out,
You know "little Lexi" was just a sprout
When you saw her you knew, with her eyes so blue,
That love had made her beautiful. So sweet, so unusual.
Trying to stand up before it was time,
beautiful blond hair that would always shine.
Those perfect little fingers, that perfect little nose,
that beautiful little body, even down to her toes.
She stole all our hearts, yes right from the start.
The best of both worlds, our sweet little girl.
The Angels took Lexi away from us all
to a place she could play and never would fall.
To gardens where children were waiting to see
the prettiest princess there ever could be.
Loved ones were waiting with arms open wide,
to see little Lexi her grandmother's pride.
So wait for me Lexi, Maw Maw will be there,
and we will play and have fun in the Garden of Prayer.
We will have tea parties and Cabbage Patch dolls,
lollipops, ponies, and the Wizard of Oz.
We will run through fields of emerald green
and play hide and seek, and eat lots of ice cream.
We will stick our toes in the soft warm sand,
and run from the waves as they splash on the land.
We will climb purple mountains and follow our dreams,
I'll tickle your belly and laugh as you scream.
My precious Lexi I miss you so,
your Mommie and Daddy are grieving you know.
Your brothers are sad and are writing to you,
Oh little flower with eyes so blue.
Aunt Amy is crying and can only ask why?
She is wanting her "Powder Puff".
Oh how she does cry.
Until we can see you again Lexi dear,
we all love you baby,
and have cried many tears.
But one day all will be different so I've been told.
One day we'll all walk through that city of gold.
With Mommie and Daddy and Maw Maw and all,
one big happy family and no tears will fall.
Until that day happens from now until then,
play little darling and laugh with the wind.
For when it will blow on Maw Maw's old bones,
I know it will mean a short time till I'm gone.
We will always be near little Lexi in spirit.
For God's made a promise
and Maw Maw can hear it.
My Lexi, my baby, my granddaughter, my soul,
I love you so dearly and this is my goal.
To one day be with you I have to believe,
that God's soloum promise will be to receive,
A blessing from Heaven in the form of a child,
who was touched by an Angel, who sleeps now on a cloud.
