Hands of wisdom
Gone on to God’s Kingdom
Guidance in understanding
Knowing and sustaining
Heaven on high
The watch from Thy
Encouragement that was broad
My heart being assured
Grandma’s years of living experience
Her impact and influence
Strength endurance
Grandma wise
Seeing I to I
Times of Discipline
Wrong to right
Youthful years sometimes resent
As an Adult, I understand
Her song her own, “Afterwhile”
I am enriched to stand and withstand
Her praying hands feature
My Grandmother was some teacher
Grandson don’t worry
I her whispers in live and enjoy
I learned well
Understanding myself and purpose
My footsteps have journeyed miles
My reflections while
The think back
Keeping track
Living my best in Grandma’s wisdom
Preparation test fulfilled
More greatness to come
The live out
Grandma’s desire

Not a Ladder step up
Typewriting keyboard set up
Hands on the keys
Typing letter after letter
Accuracy that matters
Speed will come
Practice makes perfect
Afterwhile, you will become a typing dynamo
You will be your own quick moving typing gizmo
Pace yourself
Be calm and patient
Don’t let anxiety get to you
In due time
Typist will be in you.

She stood in the shopping cart
Barely a year had passed
Mama, with all her hopes
Believed she could outlasts
...despair
She did not utter a sound
Mama hid behind a brick column
Her final words wrapped little baby
In the calm solemn
...unknown
The lure was in the basket
Food for whosoever will
Take all that you see
And greedily fill
...hunger
A woman took all she could
Time lingered like a cinder block
Can't leave her there...alone
Guess I'll take her to the doc
...afterwhile
A vision in the night
Gave the little one sight
It was always pious greed
That made it impossible for need
...to be ok

It gets better thus, I know it's the pain and struggle getting there that make you
think it doesnt.
It gets better thus i know, it's the things in the past that people have done that
make you want to pick up that gun.
It gets better thus i know,it's the mistakes that you wish you could erase.
It gets better thus i know, it's the cold lonely darkness that seems to never come
undone.
It gets better thus i know, because by God's grace im still around to see it and say it
gets better afterwhile .

Why cant i understand
After the fact
You're loving someone else
I'm still loving you
I cant understand myself sometimes
Fighting all this emotional pain
Would i ever gain
Trying to find where and would i ever
fit in
Mezmerized by your style and conversation
Do you know you're one of God's most precious work
I've been trying to stay strong and say no wrong
As life continues to go along
I'm too strong to hate
God said good things come to those who waits
My father tells me that's a family trait
Were one of a kind breed
All women would love us indeed
