In memory of my grandmother, MawMaw, Iris Durand
I wrote this on the night that we were going to Houston to help Michelle pack to move back to Indonesia. They needed to come home for MawMaw's funeral. I wrote this...tears came...but it gave me such joy after writing it...because I knew she was on her way to Heaven!
She Came to Say Goodbye
(c)2004 Stephanie Durand
She came to say goodbye,
And that is when I cried
Her spirit and soul passed through me
I knew in an instant, she was free
From the prisons that confined her mind
From the chains this earth had bind
Maw-Maw, I said, "Talk to me"
Only the earth keeps us apart
Only the soil that we touch
Separate the love that
I will send from above
Please don't cry for me
For, now, oh, now, I am finally free
To see the world...from Heaven's light
To touch the stars, as I pass the skies
To heaven, I am traveling
To freedom, to my Lord
To all the beautiful things
That he has in store
For my treasures were
Never bound to this earth,
Though my mind was never
enough to explain to those
I love, so dear,
Why I hung around so long
And stayed so near
As hard as it is to part
From my loves,
To heaven, I go,
And in heaven, I'll wait
For my loves to come
In Memory of MawMaw (Mawsy)
