°Greatma you look so beautiful.
You look like a butterfly.
You look like a flower.
You look like an angel. Greatma I love you.°
Writes the Great-grandchild...
Angels with wings took you away.
Over is the suffering, the sorrow, the pain.
Tears of joy have fallen for you today.
You are free to fly with the butterflies and the bees.
You are free to swim with the mermaids,
so please.Now is the time to let go
To remember the love
To treasure the memories
To rejoice in her eternal glow.
Grandma you will always look so beautiful to me.
