Answer 1

I'm sorry for you loss, if your grandmother had a poem she liked read that one, otherwise just Google it, you can find good poems if you search websites that contain poems

Answer 2

I'm sorry for your loss too. I just used the Yahoo! search engine, and found this website: http://www.allspirit.co.uk/dying.html . If you could find a poem that you know your grandmother loved, you should read that. Or try writing your own. I'm partial to the Hymn of Promise, even if it is a song: http://www.cyberhymnal.org/htm/h/y/hymnprom.htm

So Long For Now
by Yvonne Legge
You look so peaceful lying there
With your hands folded upon your chest.
You look like you are sleeping
But you are at eternal rest.
So Long For Now.

Not a hair out of place,
Your make-up nicely done,
A beautiful smile upon your lips -
For now you are with Absalom.
When someone special passes on
It does not mean they are gone,
Though they are no longer with us
Their memory still lives on.
It hurts so much to lose a friend -
Especially one that is trustworthy and kind.
Nan Legge, you were that special friend,
A rare and special find.
Nan Legge, you will always be with me
In spirit and in mind.
You will always have a special place in my heart
Forever until the end of time.
Nan Legge, I will not say "Good-bye".
This is not the end.
So I will just say, "So long..."
Until we meet again.

I'm very sorry for your loss.

This beautiful poem was read after my beloved son-in-law passed away. I do not know the author. Feel free to use it if you wish.

WE REMEMBER THEM

At the rising of the sun and at its going down,
We remember them.

At the blowing of the wind and in the chill of winter,
We remember them.

At the opening of buds and in the rebirth of spring,
We remember them.

At the blueness of the skies and in the warmth of summer,
We remember them.

At the rustling of leaves and the beauty of autumn,
We remember them.

As long as we live, they too will live
For they are now a part of us, as we remember them.

When we are weary and in need of strength,
We remember them.

When we have joys we yearn to share,
We remember them.

When we have decisions that are difficult to make,
We remember them.

When we have achievemnts that are based on theirs,
We remember them.

As long as we live, they too shall live,
For they are a part of us, as we remember them.
