Celie's Life

Four score and many more 
And still within her prime 
In her mind and in the woods, 
Hunting, fishing, trapping, 
A workhorse of a woman. 
Watch her go- swing the axe, 
Cleaving wood, making fence posts, 
Shoveling sand, raking it, 
Trapping rabbits, beavers, bears, 
Skinning, cleaning, bottling, 
Pelts, skins, berries wild, 
Out doing many a man is 
This woman of the North. 
She built her own houses, a carpenter, 
Lover of her cabin and the wild 
In Hawks Bay, Newfoundland.
Celie never rests. 
God bless her as she attributes to Him 
All her abilities and good health.
Celie - the woman does it all.
