What She Would Say by Andrea L. Rue

After you wipe away your tears
And dry your gloomy eyes
I want the thought of me
To be the reason that you smile

there is no reason to grieve
For it brings shades of gray
I am better off now
Just start a brand new day

I am looking down on you
With grandpa by my side
Watching your accomplishments
With encouragement and pride

I hope all of your dreams come true
No matter what they are
You can do what you put your heart to
In life they will take you far

My love is like a stream
It runs pure from heart to heart
I am still there with you along the way
For we will never part

I will be there for you
When you need someone
I can be the one you need
From dusk until dawn

You are a jewel
You are a treasure
you are one of a kind
And you shine just as bright
as the stars in the sky

Keep your eyes upon me
Keep me in your sight
I helped you down the crooked road
Like I led you to the light

You gave me more than I asked for
When no one else did
You opened the door to my dark heart
And made me lively again

Sometimes I knew the words to say
Gave thanks for what you've done
But then they flew up and away
As quickly as they come

Are there really any words for this?
I find the question tough
Anything I could have said
Just didn't seem enough

What way was there to thank you
For your heart, your sweat, your tears
For ten thousand little things you did
For oh so many years
