About twenty seven years ago, my granddaddy Gordon, who I never met, passed away. Upon his passing, he left a poem for my Mimi, Mom, Aunt Vicki and father. Today, as my Mimi is being laid to rest, I would like to share it with you.
When I leave you don't weep for me.
Pass the wine around and remember.
How my laughing pleased you.
Look at one another, smiling,
And don't forget about touching.
Sing the songs that I loved best
And dance one time all together.
As for me, I'll be off running
Somewhere on the beach, and I'll fly
To the top of that tree I always meant to climb,
When you're ready, I'll be there --
Waiting for you
Take your time.
