I wish I had, more often, told my Grandmother
how much I loved her, and how much she meant to me;
and, in my old age, I long for another---
how fleeting and brief---opportunity
to tell her again. But Christ's Grace and Clemency
shatters the grasp of neglectful perfidy
(even mine); and, redeemed by Him to His Eternity,
I shall be able to speak to her,
and all of my resurrrected family:
of this Christ's everlasting Gospel makes me sure.
