Georgie

By Agawaer

Georgie, saddened tears I weep,
Around your grave, my mourning deep,
Yet sweetness in my bitter seeps,
Of the times we shared together.

Georgie, I you leave behind,
Dedicate this humble rhyme,
To one who lived beyond her time,
And seemed to live forever.

Georgie, sick and elderly,
Rest now in eternity,
You’re free from frail mortality,
And bliss you’ll have forever.

Georgie, rest beneath the shade,
Of trees in some far-distant glade,
Where streams forever serenade,
You with their songs forever.

Georgie, know that earned have you,
Unending joy, for you stayed true,
To God and gave Him every due,
And with Him you'll dwell forever.

Georgie, bathed in heaven’s light,
And greet with praise and great delight,
Departed friends and kin alike,
And laugh with them forever.

Georgie, ne’er there was before,
Nor will be hence, a heart more pure,
The world is lesser evermore,
Without your smile forever.

Georgie, mother, grandma, wife,
You lived a rich, amazing life,
And now you’re free from grief and strife,
Know peace, now and forever.

Georgie, gone to well-earned rest,
The eldest of us and the best,
Who nobly bore life’s every test,
In my heart, you’ll live forever.
My great-grandma Georgie (my maternal grandpa's mother, not the Granny I mentioned in some of my more recent journal entries) lived to be one hundred and four years old. I wrote this poem as a monument to her.
