My Grandmother

Her presence was always there,
Especially during the times when I needed it
She was my mother
She picked up, also took the roles of my father
Her love I will always remember
From day one till year ends December
I even remember,
When she could make clothes from her own
The love I know is hers alone
If only I could dial her number on my phone
So that she knows um not prone
Especially to the influence of this world
I will stick to her word
And I will think of her efforts to make bread
I was even taught!
And with her I never fought
My absence could cause distress
But now her absence does!
I still know her chanting voice when she calls my name
All her instructions,
Have given me a life without fractions
She created in me a mind that is complete
Here she’s no more,
To see and taste the fruits of her sweat
But in my mind she’ll be in forever
She sees me everyday
I will keep that and live happily all my days
