#94 A Story of a Grandmother
As I look back lets take this ride
With you holding my hand standing by my side
Every step that I took you matched stride for stride
Every crying lonely night I had you to confide
Through the ups and downs its all turned around
You're the only one I knew to keep me on the ground
The everlasting sound of you flying away
Not the first but I knew it would be the last today
The last hug and kiss as we cried away
The tears fall so fast didn't know what to say
A selfish little voice said you had to stay
But today I realized it couldn't be that way
You left it all behind had to sacrifice
The husband and life to make us right
Did all you could raised a family
Worked a nine to five and did it for free
I promise you this I'll carry it on
The family traditions you instilled in mom
In a time of violence you stayed so calm
Never cursed a word or saw the back of your palm
Now that you're gone don't know what to do
Reminisce through the pictures but I still miss you
True renaissance women you had it all
Keep your faith in God and your never fall
Raised five children and eight of their own
The only time you heard your husband was over the phone
Promise you this you'll never be alone
Cause you created our life and gave us a home
Built the foundation with just two hands
Obstacles in your way but you stuck to your plan
Never complained just remained so strong
No matter what we did we couldn't do no wrong
Stayed up late as our parents went out
Tried to calm us down as we'd yell and shout
Took us to church and lead us in prayer
Looked your eyes said I'll always be there
But life's not fair that's what we realized
The years we lost now we're saying goodbye
I'm trying to be a man trying to cover up
Cause I was told a real man shouldn't cry this much
It's been a little to rough for my heart to take
But I know we'll meet again at heavens gate
I look to the stars and see your face
Memories that we share just can't be erased
Thank you for the moments that we did share
For showing the true meaning of the words love and care
For always being there I appreciate
The meals you'd cook to fill our plates
Now the person I am is all because
This lady name Patring showed me love
Her name alone tells you what I mean
Nannay means mother if we're translating
The most beautiful women you'll ever see
Miles apart still you're alive in me
Change is constant but you're constantly
In my heart so lovingly
A baby is God's opinion that the world should go on.
Carl Sandburg
To put the world right in order, we must first put the nation in order;
to put the nation in order, we must first put the family in order; to put
the family in order, we must first cultivate our personal life; we must
first set our hearts right. Confucius
Making the decision to have a child - it's momentous. It is to decide
forever to have your heart go walking outside your body. Elizabeth Stone
Perhaps the greatest social service that can be rendered by anybody to
this country and to mankind is to bring up a family. G.B. Shaw

In every dispute between parent and child, both
cannot be right, but they may be, and usually are, both wrong. It is this
situation which gives family life its peculiar hysterical charm.
Isaac Rosenfeld
