To My Late Grandma

In the telling told, the stories unfold Of days long faded, in history's hold Grandma, your presence, a memory gold In our hearts engraved, for times untold In Leteng's remnants, your essence we find Folded carefully in our minds Each tale, a treasure, to keep and bind A legacy of love, forever entwined We yearn to meet you in the beyond Where black linings fade, and souls respond United in spirit, by Modimo's bond Together again, in peace we abscond With fathers gone, we carry on Through trials faced and battles won Progress made, under the sun Guided by love, our journey begun Lefedile, Gabobintshiwe, and Uncle Benson Their spirits soar, their legacy unbroken Rest peacefully, in realms unspoken Their light shines on, a token Mogo stands tall, a man of might Oree and I, embracing the light Through storm and strife, we unite Beneath dark clouds, seeking insight The twins, now women, radiant and true Mum's illness conquered, her strength renewed Obiditswe and family, a bond so true Together we stand, in love we grew So much left unsaid, in the afterlife we'll talk No barriers to keep us apart or block Nightmares fade, as we embark On a journey of reunion, in the eternal clock We miss you, grandma, our hearts aflame In the tapestry of life, you remain A guiding light, in joy and pain Until we meet again, we'll whisper your name
