Eileen R. Kelly Poet Lyric

Stedfast...(Spirit of a Grandmother)

I carry you
within...

this courage...
this love...
this wisdom...

through my veins
your blood...

your history...
lifes bridges...
you have crossed...

your battles fought
lost and won...

you walked this earth
with defiance...
your courage...
your self reliance...

this a burden to
carry...this courage
stedfast...this spirit
truth does not elude...

...my spirit kneels
before truth...

this respect...
your spirit
long lives...

...gifted to me
from you...
