Memory Diary Entry #4

 These are two other songs I wrote in memory of my grandma that I would like to share with all of you.

When I look back at the memories, when I look back at you and I, I think of the memories the memories, you and I had. I think of the laughter, I think of the stories you shared, I think of your kind and compassionate heart because you touched our hearts and you touched our lives whenever you were around you smiled at us and I smiled at you. Where ever you were I could give you a hug and comfort, because sometimes I knew just what you needed. You held my hand and I held yours and I know that you loved me forevermore. I know it’s not goodbye, I know you are smiling down at me, because you’re proud of who I’ve become and you’re proud of what I am doing in this world and what I am doing for God. I will always share the memories I have for you to others who didn’t get the chance to know the sweetest, kindest, and loving person I knew, because I loved you so much. I’ll never forget the times we took on a Sunday drive, just talking and laughing like we always did. I remember, oh I remember, I remember the times that we had. I maybe strong but I don’t give up, I have faith in God that no matter where we are, everything is going to be okay. You helped me to grow, even when you may not have been feeling the best, but we knew that God’s Word says, come to me all who are weary and I will give you rest. It is Faith we hold onto because He has a plan for each of us. You impacted me and I impacted you, you touched my heart and you touched my life, but one thing I know for sure is that no matter what I am never going to forget the person you were, the one that I could come and talk with. The one I could share many things, because you and I had a special bond and relationship that could never, ever break or fall apart. You and I we could talk on the phone or when I would see you at your house or at church. We could always talk about anything and I knew that everything would be okay. You were very special to me and I was to you because God’s love for us could never fail. I can remember sitting on the back deck with you, and can remember a conversation we had, and I can remember it clearly because then once I told you what I said, we both smiled and laughed. I am thankful for the time that I spent with you because anytime I saw you, even when you felt down, you had faith in God and loved Him with all your heart. I know the memories will never ever fade, and I can always look back at the memories that I have of you and smile in knowing, that you’re with me in my heart. Time is precious, so we take the time we need, and we know that things work in God’s timing because God shows us that we can do all things. You put your trust in the Lord, you knew about God’s Word and anytime when you felt sad, I could always share scripture or anything with you, and the you would smile again. You touched our lives and you touched our hearts you helped me in my journey, you helped me know that God is with me, and you made a difference in my life, like I did with and for you too. I will always hold you close to my heart and I know that when I feel sad, I can smile at the memories I have of you. I have so many memories that I’ll never forget of you. Even when you didn’t, oh even when you didn’t feel strong, I was always there for you, especially when you needed me most. We had the greatest conversations, and we always had the best of times, because you had a loving heart, a heart that was pure. Even when you didn’t feel brave, I always tried to be brave and strong for you. God’s got me in His Hands and He always will, because He never leaves us, and we are His children who are Warriors in Faith. I’m very grateful to know that when you were here with us, that you could always somehow make us smile and make us laugh, because your pure and compassionate personality and heart, is what made you unique. I love you and I know I’ll see you again someday. You touched my heart and my life and I’ll keep the memories I have of you safe in my heart. You know that God helped you through any trial of life and you knew that God would help me to overcome whatever came my way in this journey of life…… You touched my heart and you touched my life and I know that no matter where I am you’re in my heart and I do not have to be afraid because I will see you again someday and I know that God is with me always. Help me to know Jesus how you give us life to remember that when you touch our hearts and touch our lives, we can remember how we never ever have to be afraid because you give us new life and we trust that your Word will always give us hope that we need for tomorrow, and for today because God you continue to touch our hearts and our lives and we give you the Glory and Praise to help guide us in the path that you want us to take. So thank you for all, that you do and thank you for the blessings that you have given us to know that even when we feel sad, we can come to you in prayer and know that you are with us always, and I thank you for the time that I got to spend with my grandma who impacted my life and touched my heart forevermore. This song is another song very much like the first one I shared in her memory and in dedication to her that this song ever since I started to write it and write it more tonight and I finished it, well I feel God helped me through it but I also know that God shows me that I can remember the good times I had with my grandma and even when I do feel sad I can think of the happy times I had with her because those are the times and those are the moments I’ll cherish. So this second song is in memory and dedication to her because I know that she is never gone from my life but she’s in Heaven where she is not in any pain.

If I could tell you what I wanted to say I tell you how I miss you each and everyday
You were my stronghold you were my rock
You were the one who understood me and didn’t help me fall apart
I loved you with all of my heart I loved you without end
I love that no matter where I am
I can depend on you to be with me
Wherever I am and you will always be in my heart, no matter what
I will stay forever faithful and true
I will be the one to share stories about who you were and I will tell others about how you were kind and compassionate to those you knew and who were in your life
I know I’ll see you again someday and I know you are never too far away from us because I know you’re in Heaven with Jesus
I can look back at the memories
Knowing you’re still there with me
I can see clearly with what I know and that is Jesus never leaves me
He is there for me and He is the rock of my salvation and He will never leave me in any time of need because He is our Savior who doesn’t let go and He will be
The one to share the truth every where I go and God is helping me
Helping me to see that I’m not alone and helping me to know that the memories I hold onto are the ones I know that I can hold close
Close to my heart and reminding me that you never stopped loving me and that you were there for me
I thank God each day for you, I thank Him for what I got to do and I thank Him for being able to spend the time I had with you
So many times I know that it’s okay to be sad, but I can smile again at the memories and then I can know about the good times we had. God is our redeemer and
Friend and He loves us with no end and His love is unconditional
So I know that He’s helping me see, that wherever He is , He will be with me and I know you are in my heart and letting me know I am loved because you’re not gone forever and I know I will see you again someday and things will be okay because I will never forget who you are and who you were to me because I loved you so much and I will continue to walk humbly with a grateful heart in God’s Eyes

This last one is written to the tune of Sidewalk Prophet's song The Words I would say.
