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. A W.C.Hull Poem © 2010-2022-704 (D)
