A Blessing In My Life Poem by Martin Greyford

When you lose such a close person in your life
You tend to believe that
life is shallow and that you
Will never feel so close to another person.
I held onto my grandmother's memory,
But as time went on,
I was able to let go
And accept that she was gone.

Although I always feel she is watching over me,
I finally accept that she is no longer with me.
And that is part of the circle of life.
-As when I accepted that
the Lord gave me a beautiful
Gift that I can't even imagine living without.

A beautiful,
Healthy baby girl.
A gift like that did not replace
The one I had lost but it
Restored my belief in the beauty of life.
When God takes a precious thing
away from you he will give you something else,
Not to replace it but just to
Show that he cares and that
Love is something that can never perish!
