On the Passing of Grannie
If Grannie could speak to you today,
This is what she'd want to say…..
“My Dear, Dear Grands, I love you so.
But Father said, “It’s time to go.”
My Dear, Dear Grands, do not feel sad.
My soul is with Jesus. Rejoicing, glad.
Listen to your elders and grow up right.
Choose the goodness of God…. Seek to live in the Light.
Be strong. Have courage……proud black women, and men,
smiling on our memories….. now and then.
My Dear, Dear Grands, my love is still near.
Have peace in your hearts for I rest in God’s care.”
