Dedicated to Granny Smith and Otto
I think of you often
and make no outward show,
But what it means to lose you,
no one will ever know
You wished no one farewell,
not even said good-bye,
You were gone before I knew it,
and only God knows why.
You are not forgotten
nor will you ever be,
As long as life and memories last,
I will remember thee.
To some you may be forgotten,
to others a part of the past,
But to me who loved you dearly,
your memories will always last.
Nothing can be more beautiful
than the memories I have of you.
To me, you were someone special,
God must have thought so too!
If tears could build a staircase
and memories a lane,
I would walk all the way to Heaven,
and bring you back again.

What a lovely tribute. I had posted my piece before I read of Granny's loss, so I returned to add a piece to my post. I've linked to two of her posts about Otto, including a beautiful poem, "The Old Lovers" you would like to read, I'm sure. Their love has been such an inspiration to many, many of us.
Granny Smith and her Otto have touched many lives and she'll continue to do so - she has much more to tell... This is a lovely poem and a wonderful way to offer solace and tribute!
what a sweet poem. i heard about this when i went thru my sun scrib rounds. i'm so sorry to hear it. i would likely cry if this were read at a funeral.
What a nice way to pay tribute.
