Kelsie

Running barefoot up that dusty dirt road

Without a single care in the world to hold

But we knew to head back to your front lawn

The second that those city streetlights came on

You fed all our friends, making sure we were full

Smart and so funny, but you had a strict rule

When I crossed the line and I made you mad

I was fetching a switch for the attitude I had

Grandma Kelsie, your love was so pure

You taught me to love without any fear

No one ever made me better than you

When I couldn't see, you guided me through

Now God called you home, you're our guiding light

Keeping the Poe family safe in the night

I'm trying to stay strong, trying not to let go

Until we meet again, I just want you to know

Then Dylan came along, your first great-grandboy

Spoiled from the get-go, your pride and your joy

You never let me fail at raising my son

You were right by my side when the hard times begun

Before that Christmas weekend when he was taken away

I almost lost my mind, I didn't know how to pray

But you and Tammy held me, kept me in control

Until years later we got him back, and joy filled your soul

Grandma Kelsie, your love was so pure

You taught me to love without any fear

No one ever made me better than you

When I couldn't see, you guided me through

Now God called you home, you're our guiding light

Keeping the Poe family safe in the night

I'm trying to stay strong, trying not to let go

Until we meet again, I just want you to know

Ninety-eight great summers of watching us grow

Now you've got great-grandbabies putting on a show

I miss you so much, I need you here with me

But I'll lean on the armor you built up in me

You swore that no weapon against me will prosper

So I'll make this life the best it can offer

Grandma Kelsie, your love was so pure

You taught me to love without any fear

No one ever made me better than you

When I couldn't see, you guided me through

Now God called you home, you're our guiding light

Keeping the Poe family safe in the night

I'm holding it together, I won't lose control

Until we meet again, you're the heart of my soul
