Gammy's Poetry

Gammy wrote me recently and said that lately she has been inspired to sit and put her thoughts into poems. Aunt Lyn says that this means she is moving into a different part of our grief.  A part that is more articulate and in the forefront.  Here is one of them:

My mother once said
"Death doesn't scare me.
There are more in heaven
Than here on earth
Waiting to greet me"

I thought it was good
She saw that light
Reunion was hope to hold
But for me, then young,
Life held me tight

Time has flown since then
I am in an older year
A son has left to meet his God
And I begin to understand
Why death holds little fear
