I've been thinking about my grandparents a lot lately and all the things they've taught me. It's amazing how all of their little life lessons apply when you least expect it.
"Goodness is rewarded."
"Hope is guaranteed."
"Laughter builds strong bones."
"Right will intercede."
Things you've said I often find I need.
I see the world through your eyes.
What's black and white is colorized.
The knowledge you most dearly prized I'm eager to employ.
You said that LIFE has INFINITE JOY.
Your heart, your glee haunt me.
Your words strike suddenly.
They're obvious, but wise.
I see the world through eyes and possibilities expand.
The one thing I don't understand is how you kept your poise,
when life has infinite joys.
"Life has infinite joys."
Your face.
Your voice.
Rejoice.
To have you back with me is such a fine surprise.
I see the world through your eyes.
I taste lemon on my lips.
I marvel at the sailing ships of well dressed girls and boys.
And life...life has infinite joys.
Infinite.
It's almost been a year since I lost her.
