A true Live Angel Martha Messer 7-6-29 to 12-27-95
She left us way to early, we were given no time to prepare
She left a hole so large in us it can never be repaired
She loved us all in different ways, giving us each what it was we needed
She knew exactly how to pick us up even when we felt defeated
She made everything seem so easy , raising her kids all on her own
She made us all feel loved, and special, no matter what was going on
She was a true life angel and we were blessed to have her in our lives
She tought us so many lessons, on what is needed to survive
She tought us to be honest, to be loyal, and to be kind
She taught us grandkids to listen,share our toys, and to mind.
She taught us to love our family, but to put noone above the lord
She taught us many other things, and the importance of keeping our word
She gave us the strength to go out in the world and live productive lives,
She gave us all the tools we needed, with one lesson never crossing her mind.
The lesson my sweet grandmother forgot was the hardest one we ever had to face
The lesson is how do we recover when the rock that held our family together
is no longer in its place.
