Forever Live Your Name

Praised be your name forever
May it glow like the pearl down in the sea
Your body sanctuary of infinite bloom
Your voice always heard like an echo
Honour be to your grave
Long live your name

Inspiring and spiritual poem worthy of your grandmother dear, Kudzai! I am certain she has become your angel and that she is smiling at you today with pride! God bless her soul my friend. BTW I would like to welcome you to our poetic family! Hope your stay will be a lasting one and very productive!

Hello Soup family. Just a brief note about this poem, it is written for my great grandmother who died on my birthday last year in November. I believe this was for a purpose so that she may be my angel! She was always one who inspired me and was such a visionary. I only hope that this poem is worthy of a visionary like her.
