DREAMS
There’s an angel standing guard while she is sleeping
He’ll protect her till the morning sunshine’s
He sits by her bedside and watches
As she relives the memories of time
Remember the time when you held her
On the day God called you away
You said you were going to heaven
You knew you just couldn’t stay
Her tears you knew she was hiding
So her heart wouldn’t show any pain
If only you where here to hold her
She’d tell you all of her dreams
You taught her to love all Gods creatures
You taught her her prayers at bedtime
You taught her to love one another
Now teach her that life must go on
You bought her a gold chain and locket
I remember the words that you said
If ever she was lonely and needed
To see your face once again
Just open the little gold locket
And remember the love that’s inside
It’s not the little gold locket
That she holds so dear to her heart
It’s the memories you placed inside it
That she’ll treasure all the days of her life
Someday you will meet in God’s heaven
I know you’ll be waiting for her
So stay by her bedside and watch her
Protect her till the morning sunshine’s
You can dream all your dreams together
Let her dream of all her good times

This is so moving. There is a special bond between grandparents and the grandchildren. At least I had it with mine. It was a devastating loss when they had to go. You wrote this so well. I can still remember the loss and the pain I felt.
