Why Did Granny have to Go??

Why did Granny have to go
I ask?
As my tears
are coming fast?

Why did Granny have to go
I cry?
So her smile could
brighten up the sky.

Why did Granny have to go
I mourn?
Because her body was
so tired and worn?

Why did Granny have to go
I wail?
So her spirit
could soar and sail?

Why did Granny have to go
I whine?
Because I thought she was
all mine.

Why did Granny have to go
I asked my Mother?
So she could go to Heaven
and help others?

Why did Granny
have to leave me now?
As I have not
yet learned how. . .

Why did Granny have to leave
so soon?
Because Heaven has prepared
a special room.

A special room for Grannies
like mine,
So their smile and love
will always shine!

I will weep for you
my Granny dear,
But in my heart you will
always be near.

I will always remember
the good times we had,
And I will always
be a little sad.

But, I know you are
with Jesus now,
And that someway somehow you will always be
with me so;  let my tears dry now.
