From The Heart
In Rememerance of Miss Essie
I REMEMBER WHEN WE WERE LITTLE
AND HOW WE USED TO GO TO MISS ESSIES.
SHE WAS A NICE OLD LADY WHO LOVED US
BOTH. ALTHOUGH, MY BROTHER WAS HER FAVORITE.
SHE LOVED TO TALK TO US FOR HOURS ON END,
STILL IN HER RIGHT MIND, WE'D LISTENED TO EVERY WORD.
I ALWAYS ENJOYED GIVING HER HUGS AND EVERYTIME
WE LEAVE, SHE ALWAYS TELL US TO COME BACK AND SEE HER.
IT'S BEEN YEARS SINCE WE'VE SEEN MISS ESSIE FOR THE LAST
TIME WE SAW HER, SHE WASN'T DOING VERY GOOD.
SHE WAS VERY WEAK, WANTED TO SLEEP, AND IN BED
BUT STILL THAT LITTLE OLD LADY WAS IN HER RIGHT MIND.
TONIGHT, I GOT A PHONE CALL AT 9:37PM FROM MY GMA
TELLING ME THAT MISS ESSIE HAD DIED AT THE AGE OF 102.
SURELY, MISS ESSIE WILL BE MISSED GREATLY FOR SHE
WAS DEARLY LOVED BY HER FAMILY AND HER FRIENDS.
WISHED I HAD A PICTURE OF DEAR MISS ESSIE SO
I COULD REMEMBER HER IN A PICTURE INSTEAD OF A MEMORY.
SHE HAS TOUCHED MY HEART IN A WAY I NEVER KNEW
AND OH HOW SHE LOVED ANIMALS; HER FAVORITE WERE CATS.
JUST TO SEE MISS ESSIE ONE MORE TIME, TO GIVE HER
A SWEET AND GENTLE HUG, TO TELL HER I LOVE HER.
I KNOW MISS ESSIE IS UP IN HEAVEN WITH JESUS, A
PLACE WHERE SHE NO LONGER HAS TO BE IN PAIN.
I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT DEAR SWEET LADY.
MY MOM LOVED HER AND SEEN HER EVERY CHANCE
SHE COULD GET. AS I SIT HERE AND WRITE THIS AND
HOLD BACK THE TEARS, I THINK OF THE MEMORIES....WITH THAT DEAR SWEET LADY.
YOU WILL BE IN OUR HEARTS FOREVER MISS ESSIE.
WE LOVE AND MISS YOU GREATLY AND HOPEFULLY,
ONE DAY WE'LL GET TO MEET AGAIN UP IN HEAVEN.
