Edie (1924-2014)

(For my Grandmother, who passed on, July 22, 2014.  I'll see you again someday!)


I was once a child,
But now I run along the wind,
Ever a child of God.

I was once a scholar,
But now I am learned in the ways of angels
And I have graduated, once more, in life.

I was once a bride,
But now I walk a different aisle,
Paved of living water as the Bride of Christ.

I was once a mother,
But now I lay among the stars,
As I did lay my children in their beds.

I was once many things,
But now I am many more to come,
As my walk continues, free of hindrance.

I once lived here,
But now you will find me within your hearts,
For I have answered the knock upon my door
And the serenade upon my soul.


“Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.”  Revelation 3:20
