i know that my savior lives
and at the end he will stand on this earth
my flesh may be destroyed
yet from this body i will see god
yes i will see him for myself
and i long for that moment

grandma i really miss you and it ain’t been the same
i drop a tear when i hear your name
mary ella holloway why you gotta be so far away
used to say don’t worry it’s gon’ be okay
but it ain’t it’s like when you left you took the lord with you
why couldn’t i come when he came to get you
damn i really miss you
i had to say it again
i remember the time when i was like 0
crept up in the neighbor’s yard yeah bein’ hard headed
you told me i would get it you said it
and boy did i get it but after you spanked me you hugged me
kissed me on my forehead told me that you love me
and i saw that it hurt you more than it hurt me
i thought how bad could this hurt be
i know now that’s why it’s only done out of love
what i wouldn’t give for one mo’ hug from grandma

you left behind a mother eleven kids eleven grandkids
and since then two of your grandkids done had kids
i got a boy named tacoma xavier’s brother
that’s right xavier’s made you a greatgrandmother
i thank you for the best times of my life
i thank you for when you first met her acceptin’ and lovin’ my wife
i thank you for those sunday dinners they were vital
i thank you for my life i thank you for the bible
i thank you for the songs that you’d sing in the mornin’
amazing grace
while i’m yawnin’
i thank you for the two beatings you gave me
’cause i know somewhere along the line the lesson i learned from the two beatings saved me
and when you died i cried like a baby i begged the lord to take me
’cause no one else could give me what you gave me
but life like everything comes to an end
i pray i go to heaven to see you again amen
