Tears for You

I remember the painful day you died.
I remember the buckets of tears I cried.
It seemed the entire world fell apart that day.
I felt like I was losing a friend along the way.
You were so close to my heart,
So close and so dear, I never wanted to part.
God had other plans for you and me
and I suppose that’s just the way it has to be.
I know you are free of pain now,
but sometimes I wish that somehow
you could be with me everyday.
And I think the memories will never stray.
I believe my Father will get me through
but grandmother, these tears are for you.
