Love Across the Distance

Soft whispers in the dark,

Memories in the spark,

A love that’s felt from afar,

A bond that’s written in the stars.

Thirteen years with dad by my side,

Custody's a journey, a wild ride,

Questions linger in unturned stones,

Seeking solace in distant homes.

And there she was, my grandma's gaze,

A warmth wrapped in both love and haze,

We spoke of moments long gone by,

Words like bridges that reach the sky.

How can you love when the time feels long?

When life takes you far and the days feel wrong?

I held her hands with the truth to share,

I love you, Grandma, no matter where.

Olive answered with a heavy heart,

Yet I felt the colors of love restart,

In those moments, the world fell away,

We found connection in what I could say.

I spoke of heaven, I spoke of grace,

Of God’s love shining through every space,

With every word, the walls fell apart,

A reunion of souls, a healing art.

How can you love when the time feels long?

When life takes you far and the days feel wrong?

I held her hands with the truth to share,

I love you, Grandma, no matter where.

Distance can’t break what we feel inside,

The love of a child, a comforting guide,

In the arms of the past, the present can glow,

With faith as our anchor, we continue to grow.

How can you love when the time feels long?

When life takes you far and the days feel wrong?

I held her hands with the truth to share,

I love you, Grandma, no matter where.

So here’s to the ties that time can’t sever,

To family and love, now and forever,

I promise you this, it’s true, it’s bold,

My heart is with you, more than gold.
