Since our vow some years ago
hand in hand we walk,
Death our only enemy
 for with it we must part.
My mind and soul have parted,
my body not earthly bound,
But my heart is rendered hopeless,
 for true love it has found.
The years we shared were special
the love we shared so true,
Not near enough I told you
Darling, I love you.
Strike your fear I promise
there is a plan yet to reveal,
And up here I shall wait for you,
among the golden fields.

My grandmother and grandfather shared a special, strong, and unique love that is immeasurable. My grandfather passed away a year ago on September 2, 2011. I wrote this for my grandmother this Christmas.

&quot;I say what I want to say and do what I want to do. There&#039;s no in between. People will either love you for it or hate you for it. &quot;
