Living Ancestors
Gabrielle’s centenarians
Brings our ancestors to us
What can I say? wow
I think of growth and hope
Dignity wisdom and love
I feel the forays
In road from the Impasse
Of youth caught up
In stuff, caught up in stuff
I thought about folk, my
Grandparents, ancestors
I heard all the unvoiced
calls in our minds as we
revelled in their sharing
If only we can emulate
This age old tradition of
Truly living no deception
May we live such full lives
May we live as preciously
May we go beyond
The rigidity of three
Scoress and ten going so
As far s our lives ordain
“Live” I heard these
Strong women saying. I’m
moved, truly moved.
Thank you so, Gabrielle
