Voor Oma Els

My grandma was here,
here on this little place in the universe,
she was here without fear,
she helped us take the path we may traverse.
Her wisdom a light far in the deep,
and still a power inside yourself,
a wisdom to understand our weep,
the light, wisdom and love she had in her shelf.
Her daily walk in the yard,
a loving smile to a child,
nothing could drive us apart,
the stones for our band were piled.

And now you’re going up in peace,
leaving behind a life well-done,
we think of how to grieve,
but you tell us: I won’t be gone.
In our hearts and minds we’re together,
we will never forget you, that’s impossible,
we think of you in times of cold weather,
and we look at your light when things look doubtable.
You’ve had your piece of the action,
and you consumed all there was to learn,
your peaceful end is only a reflection,
of the wisdom that the consuming gave in return.

Go now to your God,
your task here is complete,
go now from your loving plot,
because heaven is for you the perfect feat.
