My Favorite Girl

When I'll never again see you to wave hello or goodbye
I know it'll make me sad and make me wanna cry,
When I want to hear your voice and I reach for the phone
I realize you're with GOD on a journey you must travel alone,
When I need your advise so terribly it makes me wanna scream
Please Grandmother, come and talk to me at night while I dream,
Your graciousness and elegance were always maintained
The faith you possessed is what keeps me sustained,
You helped raised me your way to do and say what I feel
May not always be right but it'll always be real,
You were my favorite girl, GOD made you like no other
I know you were put here just to be My Grandmother,
'Lil country girl from Bernice, skinny legs and talkin' sassy
Grew up to be a woman so regal and so classy,
My heart is truly broken, longing for your voice, hug and kiss
Remember watching cooking shows and having evening talks,
All these things I miss,
As I travel everyday my steps seem so, so heavy
I know that I must serve the LORD so I too can be ready,
Grandmother, I really miss you more than words can explain
When I look at the stars tonight I hope to hear you call my name,
I'll shed some tears, I'll love my mom, my family, my daughter, and continue on with life.
The LORD giveth and the LORD taketh, 'cause he took the love of my life.
It's been pretty hard living without you and you knew this would be all along
That's why you make sure I see the clock every morning at 6:22,
The day God called you home.
I'll love you always and forever
I'll remember your smile, warm heart, your beautiful face and your presence.
You, my dear...will forever be in my heart!!!
