Great Grandma's Ghost

She came back like she said she would. Great grandma was not a typical ghost She was a kindred spirit guiding for good Just when we needed her the most She saved a life by invading a dream Until uncle was woke and went to search How she did it from beyond a mystery Like a bible story from church She insisted that he get the baby That she was very ill and could die Even though he thought it crazy He took action from his bedside Across town baby was found A deaf mute she was you see Also brown so hospital around Took her straight to surgery The infant child's appendix burst And her sleeping family didn’t know What pain the babe must have hurt That grandma’s ghost came and told. Now this story is true that I tell you But there is no fear on my face For this ghost was grandma so true Full of love joy and grace a ghost with lace. *This really happened in my family in Charlotte, NC and the babe who was saved has the scar from surgery till this day. The then colored hospital site was Good Samaritan Hospital. Now it is the site for the Carolina Panther Football Stadium. Great grannie’s name is Mary McGee and she was seen by another aunt as a bright light playing peek a boo as that aunt was then a tot. McGee had always told her kids she would visit one day beyond her grave. I am Mary McGee's great granddaughter. 10/16/2021 WRITTEN FOR GHOST LACE CONTEST SPONSOR Chantelle Ann Cook
