Granny's Flowers

You are more than a poem.

All my life you have been a great influence and source of strength and love.

For me, you were a destination sought out on many occasions.

The link to who I am and where I belong.

You have been a model, a foundation, a mother, grandmother, and teacher.

The things you taught cannot be found in a classroom.

You are a living example.

We all are seeds birthed from this wombman.

God's greatest creation.

So many times I sat or stood  beside you.

So many memories and expressions are ingrained in me.

There are no words with enough substance and value that reflects the respect I have for you.

There are no words that can capture and relay the actions of love and encouragement I received growing up.

Though the order of life would dictate that God gave me to you, but the truth is that I believe God gave you to me.
