Women In My Family
Women in my Family…
Our only family that’s left
Mothers all are we
Elevated in the blessed
Nurturing of our children and
Inspiring them to be their best
Nice and kind to others
Making sure they know the Bible
Yearning for them to dwell with God
Family includes all races and creeds
Allowing for religious diversity
Memorizing the teachings of Jesus
I was taught this way and
Like my mother our traditions stand
Year after year, forever
