Sleep Now Nana Although I cannot see you, I feel your presence near. I will hold you close in memory, till I drop my very last tear. So sleep now with the angels, and your golden heart let rest. Although our hearts are broken, we know GOD took the best. So dance beyond those golden gates, and join the loving Son. I'll see you when I'm sleeping, and pray for you to come. And although this pain is painful, and I really don't wanna let you go. I'll wait for death to take me, so we can together one day glow. Until that day I'll close my eyes, and see your smiling face. I'll lock you up inside my heart, until we again embrace. So rest now my beautiful Nana, I'll never forget how much you have done. So until my hand meets yours again, sleep now in the sun. John 14:27 "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid."
