Tribute

for my granmother who fought cancer twice before it eventually took her life.

despite the tears, and pain; I smile
envisioning her freedom at last
she suffered far too long, she fought so hard
wagered against a battle destroying within

her faith gave her undeniable strength and courage to face the ruthlessness of life

throughout the challenges
she wasn't just alive
she lived
she lived for us; for love; in spite of affliction; with dignity; as a testament
she lived as an example of the love she had for
her Lord and Savior
she displayed the way the Lord loves us all
even in her darkest moments; her faith was unwavering

I didn't want to say goodbye
I will always miss her;
her warmth and laughter, more then my words can express.

I rejoice for her, as she rests
her anguish is over, her pain is gone.
The Lord has called his faithful servant home .
