In loving memory of our beloved Gram, Sue Shearer, whose birthday is September 18th.

The angels gathered near your bed

So very close to you.

For they knew the pain and suffering

That you were going through

I thought about so many things

As I held tightly to your hand.

Oh, how I wished that you were strong

And happy once again,

But your eyes were looking homeward

To that place beyond the sky

Where Jesus held His outstretched arms.

It was time to say good-bye

I struggled with my selfish thoughts

For I wanted you to stay

So we could walk and talk again

Like we did just yesterday.
