Golden Mother
Beginning of a thousand
unseen generations.
From the Earth
and to the Earth
your impact on
us will be unending.

My Fathers Mother,
Grandmother to me,
your love courses
my veins and
you touch lies
in my fingers.
Your strength was
enough to uphold a family
at war. With
a heart of peace
and a wisdom borne
of patience we remain
a whole.

You are in our
hearts and our
minds, an undying
flame, our beginning
and our end.
