- “A Wonderful Grandmother” by Unknown
We had a wonderful grandmother,
One who never really grew old;
Her smile was made of sunshine,
And her heart was solid gold.
Her eyes were as bright as shining stars,
And in her cheeks fair roses you see.
We had a wonderful grandmother,
And that’s the way it will always be.
But take heed, because
She’s still keeping an eye on all of us,
So let’s make sure
She will like what she sees. - “Grandma’s Gone to Heaven” by Unknown
One quiet day the angels came
And took Grandma far away,
But in the stillness of the night
I could almost hear her say:
“Dear grandchild, I will miss you,
You mean so much to me,
But Jesus called me to His side,
In Heaven I will be.
A place of God’s great beauty,
No tears or earthly cares,
Only peace and joy forever,
And love beyond compare.” - “Legacy of Love” by Unknown
A wife, a mother, a grandma too,
This is the legacy we have from you.
You taught us love and how to fight,
You gave us strength, you gave us might.
A stronger person would be hard to find,
And in your heart, you were always kind.
You fought for us all in one way or another,
Not just as a wife, not just as a mother.
For all of us you gave your best,
Now the time has come for you to rest.
So go in peace, you’ve earned your sleep,
Your love in our hearts, we’ll eternally keep. - “My Grandmother” by Victoria L. Payne
In the garden of life, my grandmother stood,
A blossom of love, both gentle and good.
Her hands were my shelter, her heart was my guide,
I’ll carry her wisdom wherever I stride.
She taught me compassion, she taught me to care,
And now she is resting in God’s loving care. - “In Memory of My Grandmother” by Patrick Winstanley
My grandmother was wise and strong,
Her life was filled with love,
She led us on the path of life
With guidance from above.
Her hands were always busy,
Her work was never done,
But now she rests in peace,
Beneath the setting sun. - “We Had a Wonderful Grandmother” by Unknown
We had a wonderful grandmother,
Who never really grew old.
Her smile was made of sunshine,
Her heart was solid gold.
Her eyes were as bright as shining stars,
And in her cheeks fair roses you see.
We had a wonderful grandmother,
And that’s the way it will always be. - “She Is Gone” by David Harkins
You can shed tears that she is gone,
Or you can smile because she has lived.
You can close your eyes and pray that she’ll come back,
Or you can open your eyes and see all she’s left.
Your heart can be empty because you can’t see her,
Or you can be full of the love you shared.
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday,
Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday. - “The Watcher” by Margaret Widdemer
She always leaned to watch for us,
Anxious if we were late,
In winter by the window,
In summer by the gate.
And though we mocked her tenderly,
Who had such foolish care,
The long way home would seem more safe,
Because she waited there. - “A Grandmother’s Love” by Unknown
A grandmother’s love is always there,
Her gentle spirit beyond compare.
Though she is gone, her love remains,
In every heart, where it sustains. - “The Gardener” by Kipling
Our grandma’s love was like a garden,
Full of beauty, color, and grace.
Now her seeds of kindness bloom in heaven’s space.
We’ll water them with memories,
To keep them strong and bright,
For grandma’s love still flourishes,
In God’s eternal light.
