Grandmother Death Poems

Rest in Peace Grandma Poems

Grandmothers are famous for their hearty meals and fresh baked cookies, their abundant hugs and kisses, and their insistent desire to spoil their grandchildren. Times spent at grandma's house are often marked by love, laughter, and contentment. In fact, grandmothers are often responsible for bringing the whole family together. Because grandmothers are such a source of joy for their grandchildren, they are always sorely missed when they pass away. To lose a grandmother is to lose a most valuable family member. Many grandchildren find a peace and solace after the loss of their grandmother by expressing their feelings through poetry.

Things I Learned From My Grandma

From my beginning until your end,
You were by my side, my first best friend.
I never expressed it when you were here
Though my love and admiration were sincere.

From my beginning until your end,
You were by my side, my first best friend.
I never expressed it when you were here
Though my love and admiration were sincere.
Not a day goes by that I don't think of you.
You taught me more than I ever knew.
You gave me reason to continue the fight,
Saying a better day comes after the night.
Where would I be were you not around?
Likely adrift in the sea of life, drowned.
I am forever grateful for your love,
And I know you're looking down from above.

2. My Grandmother

In the poem, the author talks about her grandmother's passing. She wants to let her know that she will forever remain in her "rose garden of memories."

Rose Garden Of Memories

In my rose garden of memories,
I see you standing there,
An angel in disguise,
Who taught me how to care.

In my rose garden of memories,
I see you standing there,
An angel in disguise,
Who taught me how to care.

I long to hear your voice
for real - not in my dreams.
I am missing you so much these days.
How empty my world seems.

People say time heals all wounds,
that someday the pain will subside,
but Grandma, I can tell you
I think they must have lied.

The emptiness I am feeling now
is strong and I am weak.
These days go by without you,
so dreary and so bleak.

In my rose garden of memories
I know you'll always be,
for though you're gone from this mortal world,
in my heart you'll always be.

3. My Grandmother's Poem

This is a poem I wrote for my grandma's funeral. My sister had to read it for me so I wouldn't cry and mess it up, but she did worse than I would've.

A Grandma Always Cares

If Grandma had a meaning
I'll tell you what it'd be
if you were close to yours
like mine was close to me

If Grandma had a meaning
I'll tell you what it'd be
if you were close to yours
like mine was close to me

Grandmas are always there
to lend a shoulder and dry your tears
to comfort you in everything
and help conquer all your fears

Despite all the wrong you've done
and all the wrong you'll do
a grandma will always be there
and will unconditionally love you

A grandma will inspire you
to follow your every dream
She tells you, "You won't be alone,"
because you're going to be a team

Grandmas are always busy
although their hearts are tame
They tell everyone about you
so everyone knows your name

Grandmas will keep everything
from when you're young till now
and when you dance on Broadway
for her you'll take a bow

Without grandmas we'd be lost
and our tears would not be dry
and we would not be encouraged
to spread our wings and fly

To my grandma I say, "Thank you!"
My heart will always be
with you every day, and I know
you're here with me!

4. Missing You, Nan

My Nan passed away on March 16, 2012. That was the single most horrible day of my life. My sisters, my cousins, a friend, and I all carried her to her final resting place on the 23rd. We were the first time that the undertakers, of over 25 years in the business, had seen all women carry the coffin. That was one of my proudest moments. My Nan was my best friend. If I had a problem about absolutely anything, she was there. Sometimes she didn't give advice; just a cuddle was all I needed.

Miss you more than you will ever know!

The years will always roll on by
and time will always pass,
but every memory I have of you
will definitely always last.

The years will always roll on by
and time will always pass,
but every memory I have of you
will definitely always last.

I like to smile when I think of you.
I try not to be sad.
It's pretty easy to do
with all the good times that we've had.

But sometimes I can't help it,
and memories leak out of my eyes,
and I quickly try to brush them away.
I know you wouldn't want me to cry.

I don't know how it's possible,
but I love you more now than I did then,
and I really cannot wait until
the day that I see you again.

Because, Nan, I know I would take hold of you
and never ever let you go.
Every day that passes by
I miss you more and more.

Although I cannot see you,
I feel your presence near.
I will hold you close in memory
Till I drop my very last tear.

So sleep now with the angels,
And let your golden heart rest.
Although our hearts are broken,
We know GOD took the best.

So dance beyond those golden gates,
And join your loving mum.
I'll see you when I'm sleeping
And pray for you to come.

And although this pain is painful,
And I really don't wanna let you go,
I'll wait for death to take me, Nan,
So we can together one day glow.

Until that day, I'll close my eyes
and see your smiling face.
I'll lock you up inside me heart
Until we again embrace.

So rest now, my beautiful Nana.
I'll never forget how much you have done.
So until my hand meets yours again,
Sleep now in the sun.

7. Grandma's Departure

This poem is about the impact of a godly grandparent and the fruit they leave behind.
- By Lenora McWhorter

The Legacy Of A Grandparent

Grandma's room is empty; she moved away.
She departed this life and is gone to stay.
There was no struggle, but with great ease
she closed her eyes and took her leave.

Grandma's room is empty; she moved away.
She departed this life and is gone to stay.
There was no struggle, but with great ease
she closed her eyes and took her leave.

My Grandma was one sweet, loving soul.
I had no doubt where she would go.
We all knew Grandma walked with God
and bound for heaven to get her reward.

No way we can know the lives she touched
because that gracious soul gave so much.
She would share her flour, sugar or meal
or say a prayer to get your body healed.

We had many talks as she sipped her tea.
She shared years of wisdom with me.
She taught me family values and to be kind,
but she always had Jesus on her mind.

"You need the Lord," is what she would say.
"You can't make it in this world no other way."
Then grandma kneeled and bowed her head
and a stirring prayer she always said.

"Lord Jesus, I want to talk to you awhile
to ask you please bless this precious child."
Then she asked the Lord to watch over me
and to please make me what I ought to be.

My life is shaped by grandma's prayers,
and I'm thankful for her being there.
Her love was evident in so many ways
in her kind words and on her smiling face.

Grandma's leaving is heaven's gain,
but one day I will see her again.
Because the Jesus that Grandma knew,
she made sure I got to know too.

A woman of extreme strength, courage and love,
Who was beautiful, soft and now peaceful and free as a dove.
Someone on who our admiration was built around,
For her womanhood, wife, friend and grandmother since she was brought into this ground.

My Darling Grandma, we will forever hold in our hearts in which we have truly learned the most from,
Your strength as a wonderful mother to our mothers and fathers,
And which we hope to gain in raising your great grandsons and great granddaughters.

My darling grandma, we will always respect all you went through in your hardships and distinguished ways,
Your ability to hold yourself with such dignity and pride in all your days,
Your beauty shines in us all who were lucky to be part of your devoted family,
We will carry you in our eyes, minds, and hearts in which we have a remedy,

My Darling Grandma, that is to hold you close by all you have taught us to do,
And to remember the beautiful women we owe our lives to,
For giving us life to blessing us with her strong inner spirit of courage,
Her unconditional love and her sensual laughter,
For being such a person in who will always and have always
held deep in our hearts now and here after.

My Darling Grandma, You are taking a little part of us with you as you follow your angels who will guide you to your
precious place,
May you look down on us with pride on what you brought
into this world with your guidance in which you are now
truly our angel of grace.

My Darling Grandma, as you enter your new heavenly home,
may you rest in peace for which you truly deserve,
For you will be truly missed and remembered for your love and honor in which we will preserve.
We love you always and forever and may God be with you.

Thank you for the gift of love.
Now you're sharing it up above.
You had many things to say,
All in a caring way.
You always saw good in everyone,
No matter what they've done.
You were always the one we could all lean on,
Even though it must have felt like a ton.
You were always the strength of the family.
Now we must let you rest calmly.
We say goodbye,
As tears roll down our eyes.
I know your place in heaven has a good view.
You're telling God
I need to keep an eye on a few.
I know you will always be in our hearts and minds.
So Grandma,
I must go, but I'll never forget you're one of a kind.

Regret Not Spending More Time With Loved One

Life gets very busy.
Things get in the way.
Do I have time to visit?
I'll go another day.

Life gets very busy.
Things get in the way.
Do I have time to visit?
I'll go another day.

There's no sense of urgency.
You think you still have time
To go again another day.
You tell yourself it's fine.

Until you realize you're too late.
Another day won't come.
The truth too hard to contemplate.
The past can't be undone.

Your heart, it aches for all the times
You never got to see
This person you loved so much,
But you were never free.

You'll never hear their voice again
Or look into their eyes.
People will say it's for the best
But to you it feels like a lie.

Your loved one is at peace now
With the ones they had lost.
You have to make peace somehow
With this devastating loss.

Stop thinking it will all be fine
Or that you don't have time today,
For all you know, you won't have time
To go another day.

Death Of Grandma

I lie here every night thinking of you
Tears fall from my eyes feeling so blue
Why did you leave me all alone
You got your wings and off you have flown

I lie here every night thinking of you
Tears fall from my eyes feeling so blue
Why did you leave me all alone
You got your wings and off you have flown

To a better place of light and love
The perfect garden in God's sky above
Where once in a while when I feel low
You will peek in on me and watch me grow

Because now I am older I am able to see
God didn't take you away from me
He just made you an angel with wings to fly
To look after all the children up in the sky

You're the perfect one for the job
I've wiped my tears, no longer do I sob
Now I sit here and think about the days
That I sing, talk and shout your praise

Never will I forget my lovely dear Nan
And no more tears will I shed
Because now I know she's in a better place
And I keep her alive in my heart and my head

You knew me oh so well.
The day you died, my heart fell.
I will never forget you until I die.
Maybe someday we will meet up in the sky.

When no one else seemed to care.

When I was down,
She made me smile,

Lasted a while.

And the day she died,
My world fell apart.

My grandma, oh she was so grand.
I loved the way she'd hold my hand,
and when my troubles they did swarm,
I'd go to her; her heart was warm.

I loved the way she sang always,
but now her face is out of gaze.
I know she's in a better place,
and now she sees God face to face.

It won't be the same now that she's gone,
and I'll find it hard to carry on.
Now she's soaring high above,
she spreads her wings out like a dove.

She sways above to angel voices.
Now in heaven, she rejoices.
She's in a place with lots of care,
and I would like to see her there.

So keep your grandmas close to you,
because you know you need them too,
so make sure you spend time together.
Grandmas do not last forever.

Like we used to do,
But heaven needed another angel,
And yes, I get that too.

There's this one special person
She's always on my mind
All the things we used to have
Are so far behind
I wish she'd come back
I wish she'd come to stay
She left this world
And went so far away
Now that she's gone
I always pray
The very last thing she said was
Don't worry about me, I'll be okay
When she was here
She told me not to cry
But I could not help it
I knew in a short time she'd die
Ever since she left
It hasn't been the same
I don't know why
But I feel I'm the one to blame
I tried my best
To keep her here
Now that she's gone
All I feel is fear
I know she's watching over me
That I do believe
I know I'll be with her someday
Because I'll have to leave

May be gone from the land of the living
But with me she will always be
Because my memory holds her dearly
And my pen recalls her ways
And most of all I love her
A love that always stays
It stays inside my memory
And is often on my mind
Because a lady like my grandma
Is rare and hard to find.

A Tribute To My Grandmother Poem

The words you spoke so wisely
Have never been so clear.
All the lessons that you taught me
Still remain right here.

The words you spoke so wisely
Have never been so clear.
All the lessons that you taught me
Still remain right here.

I am left here wishing
To hear your voice one last time,
Once more to hear you sing
That I am your sunshine.

You told me it would be all right,
But I feel that isn't true.
The only thing to make this better
Is if I were there with you.

I know this isn't possible,
But it's hard to think it so.
I know you're now not suffering,
But I hate to see you go.

I'd let you wear that fanny pack,
I swear I wouldn't care,
Just to have you back one more time,
Just to have you there.

I'd give a million dollars,
To read one last email,
To decode that secret message
About treasures from a sale.

I know the pain will slowly leave,
And your memories will stay,
Your time with us was special,
And it is often replayed.

My sunshine was taken,
Now my skies are left grey.
Oh, the things that I would give
For only one more day.

You were more than just a Grandma,
You were my best friend.
My life has changed forever,
But I'll still love you 'til the end.
