a message sent

you gave us hope
you gave us strength
when our world came tumbling down

you connected us
to our heavenly home
a place we are now tightly bound

we lost our father
a husband
a friend
the grandpa that came to know you

in return gained a new life
a new birth
a new chapter
with eyes we see eternity through

and as you arrived
in my arms
overjoyed
a message was sent oh so sweet

the man who we love
who is near
who is here
kissed your toes as he squeezed your baby feet

for we know it was him
from above
full of love.. comfort.. and joy

he journeyed this life
just the same
with those toes
now he passed them to you
so enjoy

Enjoy the moments
we remember
we cherish
the times when your grandpa loved us

for he loves us still
and he will for forever
a greater gift we fully can trust

as a family
we endure life together
eternal perspective is clear

as you passed from heaven
a daughter of God
that future now feels somewhat near

I love you Tenley Jane.
thank you for this gift.

Love,
Mom
