Goodbye Sweet Grace

 

GOODBYE, SWEET GRACE

We grew up in a small town with small people and small minds. But even through it all, we found that I was yours and you were mine. I used to hold you in my arms trying to figure out how I made it before you, when I was lost in so many ways. I was confused, afraid of harm and the world and you, somehow, taught me to live life, day by day, each day as a blessing. When you looked at me, my soul would burst and it was in that instance that I knew you were my first and my last. I wish I could see you again; I would give everything I have now to touch you just one more time. I realize my life will never be the same and I try every day to deal with this numbness that has been constant from the place that you left a hole in when you left on your journey through gates of pearl. You were talked about for so long by angelic faces that it was only a matter of time until they wanted to meet you. I’ve got so much left to say that I hope when I pray you can hear it. You not coming back to me, isn’t the way that it was supposed to happen?  I’ll never forget that I was blessed but I know that it is time to say good bye, sweet grace.
