Far away, across the border
lives my granddaughter, with her mother
and yet, the distance that lies between
doesn’t hinder a love that’s keen.

All I need do to bring her here
and to fill my heart with goodly cheer
is close my eyes, let my heart reach out
and feel her love wrap me about.

Though miles at times seem very far
to bridge by boat, plane, bus or car
never is the journey beyond love’s reach
when that love is shared by each.
