A tribute to our most precious Pearl (Free verse) by amanda_dcosta

We grew up in a home t’was yours Filled with your love and warm embrace, You taught us how to live our lives In Jesus’ name and in His grace. Your word was firm, you stood your place For truth and love and care, You gave to all who came to you The impossible you’d dare! With love you taught us right from wrong With love you sacrificed With love you bore your aches and pains And not one bit you’d sigh. Yet, still your spirit wouldn’t rest Until you did your best. And Jesus from His throne above Was always there to bless. With pride we raise this tribute To your name most precious Pearl We’re proud to be a part of you To carry out your work. We pledge to go today in love As Jesus you did follow And claim His many promises Today and not tomorrow. May God the Father, Son and Spirit Dwell within your soul As you did be to each your way Grandmother, mum and spouse. And may the divine Spirit Grant you eternal rest As you leave your earthly home For the place you deserve best. We know you’ll wait for us to come And share your home as always. And, now we know the best way there Is Jesus whom you did follow. With pride we send you on your way To where you now belong. To Paradise – the Promised Land; To our Eternal Home. Eternal rest give unto her, O lord, And let perpetual light shine upon her. May her soul rest in peace, Amen.

This is a poem I wrote last year (21st Jan), while on the train, on my way to my Grandma's funeral. Her name is Pearl Heldt, and she was such a wonderful person to me and my family, and it was with deep sorrow and gratitude that I wrote this. You might find a lot of portions need editing, but I have kept it this way, unedited, due to the fact that I wrote it spontaneously, within 15 - 20 min. for her. All the same, critiques view is welcome. We will be celebrating her 1st death anniversary on the 20th Jan. May her soul rest in peace.
