The Family

Strong, beautiful, black woman, so peaceful and serene you deserve to live in paradise and be shown the finer things in life,

Life has dealt you plenty of cards, some winning, others bad and tides have brought in waves of memories; both happy and sad.

Gracious, beautiful, black woman, so wonderful and devine, you’ve endured so many heartaches, oh the world id so unkind.

Your speech is confident, your eyes are soft and your walk is hard and bold.

Your laugh equals happiness; your heart contains love, and hides the stories untold.

Tired, beautiful, black woman so patient and so calm its funny how you old the families fear in your palm.

With wrinkles, stress and worn-torn hands tells me how you smile so;

When you’ve traveled this long and endured all this pain and still have miles to go,

Blessed beautiful black woman, so collected and confident, I can’t imagine a gift greater than you, your love is heaven sent

God has called you home, beautiful black woman stay strong up there the way you were here, this is not goodbye, se you when we get there on our farther side.

Love Always

Grandchildren

Grandmothers are always there to comfort you no matter what we do.

They dry your tears, help you conquer your fears and say they will Love you for all your years.

Grandma Woolie told us to give it to our all even if we fall.

She was always there when we need a friend, and time with her we love to spend.

On that day, that horrible day; the day we were informed and we were in much dismay,

We didn’t know what to say or do; we were sad and heartbroken and didn’t know if we could push through,

The news was depressing and we couldn’t help but cry; our tears were like rain, because we didn’t say goodbye,

We miss her so much and wish she were here; but even though she is gone, we will still hear you whisper, “ I Love You’” in our ears.

Love

Great Grandchildren
