Today I wore a ribbon.
Not one of some great consequence,
Or so it may appear.
But insignificant as it may be,
To me, it means the world.
Because, you see, my ribbon represents
Much more than meets the eye.
It represents big hugs and loving kisses,
Rocky Road ice cream on Sunday afternoons,
Your smile that warmed a room.
It represents complete devotion,
to One and those around you.
I never will forget the way
You loved so unconditionally.
You held our family quite together;
With caring arms a'mending.
I know you felt that leaving then
Would disappoint me, true.
But disappointed, I am not,
In anything that's you.
I cannot quite describe it.
Words seem driven far away.
So all I have to say, for now,
Is "Grandma, I still love you."

much love, friend.
It seems that small tributes, like small ribbons, can mean a great deal.
