Words Of Love

I helped Grandma to the podium…where she smiled and stood with pride as she opened up a weathered old note…and read the words inside: I want to bring you light when you're wrapped in darkness comfort when you're feeling pain I want to be your shade when life gets too hot… your umbrella in the rain. I want to shield you from the harsh winds... be your warmth in the winter snow... I want to stand next to you when you're feeling tall... and pick you up when you're feeling low. I want your life to be filled with poetry I'd like to be your rhyme... I simply want to love you... until the end of time. She lingered there a moment before whispering, "I love you." then thanking Grandpa for making sure all the words he wrote came true. I helped Grandma from the podium and as we walked away she paused for a moment and gently kissed the casket where Grandpa lay.
