Why Did Granny have to Go??


	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. JRS © 5-31-97 The "Okie" Poet Questions or Comments All poems copyrighted ã1997-...
