My Great Niece Brenee

My Great Niece Brene’e

While sorting through family pictures today
I saw one of my great nieces named Brene’e
Her thoughts appeared to be so very far away
I felt as if there was something that I should say
As I saw a light that her eyes seemed to portray
Like her soul was talking to me somehow, some way
I had only been around when I used to watch her play
Because we come from that big family of McMillian / Gray
I figured she would think that I was like that cliché, crae-crae
To even to ask her if she might have had a message to relay
Just how could the message be for a great Aunt so far away
Maybe it meant that I just needed to talk with her one day
Then I planned a visit as soon as I could without delay
With there being such a strong vibration any ole way
I knew it was something I should certainly survey
The visit was kept short without a big display
I did let her know that everything was okay
We had so much fun during her quick stay
I really got to know her more that day
Her soul lit her eyes as a pathway
Of all her beauty in a vast array
Her heart was too big to weigh
A meekness that did not stray
I found myself thankful to pray
About my glorious discovery that day
To know more of my Great Niece, Brene’e
